Building Department

Description

The Building Department function is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare through proper application of the State Building Code and local town ordinances. The Building Official works closely with the Fire Marshal, the Farmington Valley Heath District, the East Granby Schools, and other East Granby Officials in reviewing and approving construction projects proposed in East Granby.

The Building Department receives applications for building construction, additions, alterations and repair work as required by the State Building Code. The Building Official reviews applications and construction documents and issues permits, inspects the premises for which such permits have been issued and enforces compliance with the provisions of the State Building code. The Building Department also maintains records for construction activity for every property in East Granby.
