The Henniker Selectmen’s Office includes a Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, Planning Consultant and Land Use Coordinator.  We work closely with many town departments and boards, promoting building safety and best land use practices for today and tomorrow, all while preserving critical records as they pertain to past land use actions.  All of our work is done through the authority of both State laws (known as RSAs) and locally adopted ordinances & regulations.  Some of the services we provide include:
