*The International Code Council has agreed to publish Connecticut Specific Editions of the 2003 International Building and Residential Codes that incorporate the language of the Connecticut Supplement into the base document. This eliminates the need for concurrent use of the Connecticut Supplement for these two codes.  The 2009 Amendment (effective August 1, 2009) will not be included in this printing.

Implementation of the 2009 amendments to the State Building Code and the State Fire Safety Code shall be effective on August 1, 2009. The Windsor Building Dept. enforces building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and energy code requirements necessary to promote the health and safety of the people of Windsor.

NEW R105.1 Required.

Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or move a lot line that will affect an existing building or structure or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit.

One important change that affects many residents is the requirement of a permit for ALL sheds. Please call the Windsor Building Dept @ 285-1960 for more information.
