In West Hartford, the Town Plan and Zoning Commission acts as the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency, and the Town Planner is the wetlands officer. Work that affects a wetland or watercourse needs its permit before it starts.
A building permit is needed for new construction, additions, demolition and pool installs. Applications go through the town's CityView online portal.
Connecticut requires a Call Before You Dig request (811) at least two full working days before anyone digs with power equipment. When you hire a contractor, the contractor makes the call, and the utilities mark their lines.
On our jobs, we file the 811 request ourselves before the machine starts.
