City of Lynn

Inspectional Service Update - Updated November 21, 2024

Continuing with the mission to provide the city and its residents with great customer service, the City of Lynn's Inspectional Services Department is proud to introduce its online portal for permitting and payments. The portal can be accessed by visiting www.lynnisdportal.com.

No computer at home or need help navigating the portal? No problem! There are two public computers in the ISD office in Room 401 at City Hall and staff on hand to assist.

Effective January 1, 2025, there will be a $25 administrative fee charged to process paper applications of permits.

To schedule an inspection:

The department encourages the use of our permitting portal to submit applications and fees to ensure that the most efficient and timely processing of the permit/license can occur.

Please note that these time frames may vary one way or the other depending on the complexity of the permit/license circumstances.  These permit/license issuance goals will not be met if all the information required to process the application has not been submitted at the time the application is submitted.  No permits/licenses will be issued if the fee is not paid.
