[Adopted 12-26-1998 (Ord. No. 10-006)]
Pursuant to Section 7-148(c)(2)(B) of the Connecticut General Statutes, the following procedure is established authorizing the withholding of the issuance of building permits upon any property as to which taxes are delinquent:
A. 
The Tax Collector shall transmit to the Building Official and the Zoning Enforcement Officer of the Town a list of all delinquent property taxes, identifying thereon the property owner(s) and address of each such property. The Tax Collector shall compile and transmit such list as soon as reasonably possible after August 1 and February 1 of each year.
B. 
The Building Official shall issue no building permit as to any property on such list until the property owner(s) has provided satisfactory evidence of payment of the delinquent taxes shown on such list.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Building Official may issue a building permit to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants in case of emergency even though there are taxes due on the property. Contact the Building Department for current building permit fees.
