SCAM ALERT
East Granby Residents/Land Use Applicants
We want to alert you to a recent scam targeting individuals by impersonating various Town employees and committee members.
What’s happening:
We’ve been made aware of fraudulent messages (via email) going out to applicants requiring additional application fees for an application to be approved. So far, we are aware of emails impersonating Planning and Zoning staff. The Planning and Zoning impersonator used: “Planning Commission Town of East Granby <[email protected]” to send scam messages (read more below on how to identify a real Town of East Granby email address).
What you should know:
- We never ask for additional payments through wire transfer. Fees for any applications are discussed in person with the applicant or through our official emails.
- All email communications will come from our verified channels, such https://eastgranbyct.org, or an email domain ending in @egtownhall.com.
- If you receive any suspicious communication, do not click on any links or provide any information.
What to do if you’re contacted:
- Do not respond.
- Take a screenshot or copy the message.
- Report it to us immediately at 860-653-3444.
We take your security seriously and are actively working to shut down these scams. Please remain vigilant and contact us if you have any concerns.
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.
The Town of East Granby uses the cloud-based software Cloudpermit so you can complete the entire building permit process online on any mobile device, although, it is recommended you use a laptop or tablet.

Forms & Documents
Please Note: Fees for most applications have increased to $17 per every $1,000 of estimated cost ($17 is the minimum and we round up to the nearest $1,000 and charge in increments of $17 — so an estimated cost of $2500 = $51 fee).
The following are helpful guidelines to get a permit.
