Local historic districts

A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for all exterior alterations visible from a public way in Belmont.

A certificate of non-applicability is required for additions, alterations or new construction not visible from a public way; temporary structures; or reconstruction (within 1 year) of a feature damaged by fire or natural disaster.

The Design Guidelines for Belmont Historic Districts include a line on the style and materials of light fixtures visible from a public way.

Belmont's pages do not mention seasonal lights by name. Ask the Historic District Commission about a specific address.

Power and safety

The Department of Fire Services holiday fire safety sheet says to buy lights and electric decorations that are listed by an approved testing agency.

It also says to turn off tree lights and other electric decorations before going to sleep or leaving the house, and to consider using a timer.

We found no Belmont lights permit. Ask the Building Division.

Install-day parking and the overnight rule

Belmont prohibits parking for over one hour between the hours of 1:00 AM and 7:00 AM.

A crew that works in daytime stays outside that window. Municipal lots must be vacated before 7:00 AM.

When snow is forecast, parking overnight on Town property or municipal lots is prohibited, and offending vehicles will be towed.

Takedown and tree pickup

Belmont's collection calendar says Christmas trees are only collected the first two full weeks in January, January 4 - January 14, 2027.

The calendar says no bags or stands, trees only.
