Connecticut Building Permits
Towns must appoint officials and issue all permits.
How Building Permits Work in Connecticut
The state's role is to provide a mandatory, uniform State Building Code and to oversee the licensure of local building officials. However, the state does not issue permits directly for private construction; instead, it empowers each town to act as the sole administrative authority for permit issuance and on-site enforcement.
