NOTICE: Work Done Without Permits

I would like to remind Easton residents that the addition of living area/square footage requires a building permit as well as approval from the Zoning and Health Departments. Many homes have finished attics and basements done without permits. The homeowner IS responsible for obtaining the appropriate permits and approvals for these areas, regardless when they were done. According to the 2018 CT State Building Code Sect. 105.1, a permit is needed when the owner or his agent intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building. Realtors and Title Searchers are finding these areas. If you believe you have an area such as this, please contact the Building Department at (203) 268-6291 ext. 110. Thank you.
