BUILDING DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT:
The primary function of the Building Department is to insure the health, safety and general welfare of the public. This is accomplished by:
- Performing plan reviews
- Issuing permits and conducting inspections to insure compliance with the Connecticut State Building Code and local ordinances.
- Issuing necessary orders and notices to remove illegal or unsafe conditions.
- Requiring the necessary safeguards during construction and demolition of structures.
- Interpreting and providing guidance regarding all applicable codes to Architects, Engineers, contractors, developers and other interested parties.
- Reviewing applications with the Town Planner, Town Engineer, Fire Marshal, Chatham Health District, along with various other local, state, and federal agencies as required.
A permit is required whenever any owner or authorized agent intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing system.
 | A report is prepared by the Building Department each month with information on the number of permits issued along with the types of permits the construction value and fees collected.

PERMIT PROCESS:
It generally takes 2-3 days for applications not requiring a plan review and 2-weeks for applications requiring plan reviews. The Connecticut State Building Code gives us up to 30-days to either deny or approve an application for a permit.
Please be aware the Town of Hebron has an ordinance stating that no application for a building permit, certificate of occupancy, sewer or septic permit or any other municipal permit shall be granted if the property owner is delinquent on taxes, sewer assessments and sewer use charges for the premises.
The following forms are available online in either pdf format or screen fillable word document. The application forms are also available at the Building Department.
In addition to the application form you may also require approval from the Chatham Health District. Generally you will need to complete a B-100a form whenever you are planning on an addition, building a pool, shed or deck or finishing off additional interior space when you have a private sewage disposal system on your property. You may also be required to renew your permit to discharge for your sewage disposal system. These forms can be located at www.chathamhealth.org/forms.htm.
Please contact the Building Department either by phone or email in order to determine the correct fees for your particular project.
