Quick answer
Do You Need a Site Plan for a Permit in Connecticut?
Yes, most building permits in Connecticut need a site plan: a scaled drawing of the lot, existing buildings and the new work, with distances to the property lines. Connecticut has no county government. Building permits are issued by its cities and towns, each with its own building official. We check that office’s requirements before quoting.
