Tips
- Solid-fuel devices (wood stoves, fireplace inserts) are capped at one per property for detached one/two-family dwellings — confirm existing devices on the property before adding a new one.
- Unvented gas log heaters and unvented room heaters are flatly prohibited Town-wide — don't assume a product marketed as 'vent-free' is permittable here.
