How do I apply for a building permit?
State Construction
For state construction projects on which the Office of the State Building Inspector (OSBI) is the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), all applications for permits, including the associated construction documents, must be submitted electronically. Paper documentation will not be accepted. Please read the electronic submission guidance.
All first-time submissions must be accompanied by a completed Building Permit Application form (PDF) and sent to DAS.codereview@ct.gov. If the construction documents can be emailed, please include them at the time of submission or provide a link from where they can be downloaded.
Please ensure all relevant information (PDF) is submitted along with the application. OSBI will engage the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) in the review.
For state construction not involving OSBI, please get in touch with the state agency commissioning the work for their approval and inspection requirements.
Non-State Construction
For non-state construction, please get in touch with the building department of the municipality where the project is located.
