Building Department:
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:
- Assisting the public in the process of submitting applications for building permits;
- Performing building permit application and 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; and,
- 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 building 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. Copies of application forms, and a variety of informational packets,
are available online or at the Building Department offices.
PERMIT PROCESS:
It generally takes 2-3 days to issue a building permit for applications
not requiring a plan review and 2-weeks for applications requiring
plan reviews. The Connecticut State Building Code allows towns
up to 30-days to either deny or approve an application for a
permit which could be required for more complex applications.
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 unless the applicant is not delinquent on taxes, sewer
assessments and sewer use charges for the premises.
INSPECTIONS:
Individuals requesting an inspection need to provide the Building
Department a minimum of 24 hours notice. Inspections can be
requested by calling the Building Department secretary at 860-228-5971,
X141. Please talk to one of the staff members directly when
requesting an inspection.
We will not be able to perform an inspection if the permit has
not been issued.
