BOS Minutes 12/3/24

BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS

For a list of common projects that require building permits, please check our FAQ section: "How do I know if my project requires a building permit?" 

All Permits require PDF copied attachments of:

  • Contractor's License
  • Worker's Compensation Insurance Certificate 
  • Letter of Authorization: required if the contractor is giving the permission of the homeowner or agent to take out a permit under their license number.  
  • Owner can do their own work and take out their own permits, but state building code states that the home must be owned and inhabited by the owner to allow doing their own work. Flips and rental homes/units require licensed mechanical and structural contractors to apply for permitting.

In addition to the above mentioned permitting, more detailed reviews, permitting, and submissions may be required. If you are constructing, erecting, enlarging, and altering the current footprint &/OR moving, removing, or changing the use of a current building it will require reviews by multiple departments. It will most definitely need the following extra submissions:

  • Plot plan with the proposed structure and work/activity depicted to scale
  • Drawings/Plans showing how the structure or space is to be built and if changing or adding onto existing space, an existing plan with designations of spaces used and a proposed plan of designated spaces (both new and existing)

In some cases, this may even require a bit more information to allow for a full and thorough review.  You may be asked to provide:

  • Additional supporting evidence by outside sources 

Property Taxes and Sewer: 

Per Thomaston Code, Article III, § 128-7: Pursuant to C.G.S § 7-148(c)(2)(B), as amended, no building permit shall be issued for improvements to any property on which the property taxes, sewer rates, charges or assessments imposed by the Town of Thomaston Water Pollution Control Authority are delinquent. 

If a property is flagged as Delinquent the review process will be delayed. 

Online Permitting System Guidelines

For your convenience, the Town has adopted new online permitting for the submittal of applications for residential building permits, electrical permits, plumbing and gas permits, mechanical permits, Demolition and Fire Protection permits.

Paper permit applications will no longer be accepted. If you do not own a computer or if you need assistance using a computer, both are available at Town Hall. A computer station terminal is located at the Town Hall. Assistance can be obtained in the office or by contacting the Building Department office during normal business hours.

You will have the option to pay online after the application has been submitted. Applicants can mail a check payable to the Town of Thomaston. You may also visit us with payment during our normal business hours. Any payments sent in without a copy of the necessary documents will not be accepted.

Before applying for a permit, you should review the Building Department information above to see what documentation is required. Please scan and attach supporting documentation with your completed application. If you do not have the ability to scan and upload, please send by mail or in person with a copy of your application.

NVCOG Seeks Public Input on Transit Equity and Inclusion

Waterbury, CT – The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG), the regional planning agency representing 19 towns in the Naugatuck Valley, is inviting the community to help shape the future of public engagement in the region. As part of an update to its Title VI Plan and Public Participation Plan, NVCOG is seeking feedback to ensure that its planning processes are inclusive, equitable, and accessible to all residents.

The Title VI Plan ensures that all programs, activities, and services comply with federal civil rights laws guaranteeing non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The Public Participation Plan outlines strategies to engage the public in the planning process, ensuring diverse voices are heard and represented.

The NVCOG has scheduled two public meetings to gather input directly from residents, organizations, and stakeholders. Public meetings will take place on the following dates:

These meetings will be interactive, including a brief overview of proposed updates and activities to gather attendees’ thoughts, concerns, and suggestions. Refreshments will be provided. Please email dblanchard@nvcogct.gov to RSVP if you plan to attend.

Meeting locations are ADA accessible. Language assistance is available, and requests can be made at least five business days prior to the meeting by contacting Desira Blanchard, Civil Rights Officer, at dblanchard@nvcogct.gov or 203-757-0535.

For more information, visit https://nvcogct.gov/project/title-vi-plan/ or contact NVCOG at 203-757-0535.
