[Adopted 4-23-1956 STM]
No person shall construct or alter any building or structure,
or portion thereof, within the Town of Putnam until a building permit
has been duly issued therefor.
Applications for such permits shall be made to the Board of
Selectmen in writing on forms furnished by the Town.
The Board of Selectmen shall issue a building permit upon proper
application, provided they find proposed construction or alteration
would not be in violation of any lawful zoning or building regulation
of the Town. Such a building permit shall become void unless operations
are commenced within six months from date of issuance.
On or before October 1 of each year, the Board of Selectmen
shall file with the Town Board of Tax Assessors a record of all building
permits issued by them within the previous 12 months.
Any person violating § 175-1 of this article shall be fined not less than $200 nor more than $1,000, or be subject to six months' imprisonment, or both, for each building or structure or part thereof so constructed or altered, in addition to the relief granted under Section 388d of the 1955 Supplement of the Connecticut General Statutes.[2]
