Planning Board Applications

Please contact Elena Eimert, Staff Planner, for any questions on submitting applications to the Planning Board.

As of November 1st, 2020, the City of Salem is now using an online system for permit applications. This new system will streamline the application process for both the applicants and department staff.

Applicants can take out permit applications at a time and location of their convenience; payment by credit card or check is also securely integrated into the process via Stripe. An e-mail address is required to access this system.

Please navigate to https://salemma.viewpointcloud.com to access the available applications. All Planning Board applications are specifically available under the Planning & Community Development section here.
