The State of Connecticut Building Code requires permits be obtained and inspections of the work performed for anyone who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure.
The Building Department is responsible for the enforcement of the Connecticut Building Code to ensure public safety, health and welfare. The Building Official and Assistant Building Official(s) perform all areas of review, inspection, and enforcement including:
Reviewing building plans for residential and commercial development
Issuing permits and Certificates of Use and Occupancy
Performing inspections for new and existing construction
Answering code and administrative questions
Responding to emergency scenes such as fires and building failures
Issuing violation letters and orders
Ultimately, it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that all permits have been issued and inspections passed for any work on their property. It is advised that when purchasing a home, or any other property, you check with the Town to verify all permits were obtained and inspections were approved. Otherwise, you may assume liability for the work that was not permitted or inspected.
