Start with the town zoning question
Victoria's official page says a zoning application is required before listed construction, reconstruction, moving, additions, alterations or establishment of a land use. It identifies exceptions for patios and accessory structures under six feet high and 20 square feet in area.
After review and approval by the zoning administrator, the town says a zoning permit is issued and remains valid for one year. An application is not an approval, and a zoning permit covers only its stated land-use decision.
Building permits and inspections belong to the county
The same page says the Town of Victoria does not issue building permits or perform building inspections. It directs those functions to the Lunenburg County Building Inspector.
Keep the town zoning record, county building application, permit, inspection results and any occupancy decision as separate records. A town zoning permit is not proof that construction may begin or that an inspection passed.
Sources & verification
Official town page checked November 5, 2026 for zoning applicability, listed exceptions, one-year zoning-permit term and county building jurisdiction.
