Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you have a Plot Plan of my property? Certified Plot Plans are not a service the Town of Danvers provides. A Mortgage Survey/Plot of Land are not an acceptable document.

You may leave a deposit of $100 cash along with a copy of your drivers license to make copies of these plans. Newer building plans may have been uploaded to the application in which you would be able to download.
