Applications and Fees
When activities are proposed to be conducted within the jurisdiction of the CRMC, they are normally done so through the submission of an application request.
Generally, a permit is required for any construction or alteration in the coastal region or tidal waters of Rhode Island. Also, permits are required for work that is within 200 feet of the mean high water mark; within 200 feet of a coastal feature (eg. beach, dune, cliff, bluff, ledge, salt pond or wetland); have a reasonable probability of conflicting with CRMC goals, management plans or programs; and have the potential to change the environment of the coastal region due to those inland activities described in Section 320 of the CRMP. Please see Section 100 of Coastal Resources Management Program (PDF) for more details on these requirements.
The permit application forms that follow incorporate the procedures of the CRMC relative to its policies and programs so that the proposed activity accurately reflects the type of request being made. The permit applications must be completed depending on the character and extent of the project. Application fees are the reverse of an application form. For more information contact the Coastal Resources Management Council at (401) 783-3370.

Permit Application Forms and Checklists
Conservation Easement and Restrictions (MS Word)
Freshwater Wetlands Edge Verification (PDF)
CRMC Assent Application (PDF) – This is the main application form. A CRMC Assent application is necessary for any new construction project (eg. small or large project).
Maintenance Application (PDF) – A maintenance application is used when an applicant wants to repair something or maintain something previously approved.
Modification Application (PDF) – This application is filled out when an applicant requests a modification to an existing Assent.
Extension Request (PDF) – Assents are issued for a three year period. In the event that the applicant is not able to start the project or fails to have a significant amount of the project completed at the end of this period, the applicant must apply for an extension request sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Assent.
Preliminary Determination Request (PDF) – This request form is used to determine whether or not a project is feasible and/or if a project is within the jurisdiction of the CRMC. It can be used to help an applicant understand what information will be needed for a review should an applicant decide to move forward on the activity.
Freshwater Wetlands Application (PDF) – This package contains all the information needed to submit an application for work in areas where freshwater wetlands exist on a piece of property within the CRMC's jurisdiction. Please go to the CRMC and RIDEM collaboration that establishes clear delineations for the jurisdictional areas for freshwater wetlands between the two regulatory agencies. If your project contains both coastal and freshwater wetlands, please only use the CRMC Assent Application (above).
State of RI Dredging Application (PDF) – This package contains all the information needed to submit an application for dredging in Rhode Island.
Aquaculture Application Package (PDF) – This package contains all the information needed to submit an application for aquaculture in Rhode Island. Application forms, CRMC and DEM regulations, state law citations, and information of regulatory and review processes are all contained within the package.
Building Official Form (PDF) – This form is completed by the town official or municipality as evidence that the building official has seen the form and granted (or will grant) approval of the construction project at the local level. It is a required form that must be submitted with any activity that also needs local approval.
Buffer Zone and Invasive Plant Management Application (PDF) – In order to maintain and manage a coastal buffer zone, the CRMC requests the completion of a buffer zone management application. This ensures that the recommended vegetation plan remains viable.
Dock Registration Form (PDF) – After receiving approval from the CRMC to build a new residential dock, the CRMC also issues a registration number that is assigned for that dock in the form of a registration plate, which is then affixed to the dock. This form is used as an application for existing residential docks that have been built prior to the CRMC's regulations under other regulatory authorities. This application will allow the CRMC to assign a registration number to these "pre-existing" residential docks.
Dock Pier Checklist (PDF) – In conjunction with the CRMC Assent application, when an applicant wants to construct a residential dock, a complete list of review information must be submitted along with an application. This Checklist details that information.
Affidavit (PDF) – An affidavit is one tool used by the CRMC to verify information. For pre-existing residential docks that were built prior to the establishment of the CRMC, an Affidavit is used as part of the application information needs. Also, and as an example, an affidavit stating that a dock was registered is necessary if a registration plate is missing and needs to be replaced.
