Do I need a permit for kitchen remodel in Milford?
It depends. Whether kitchen remodel needs a permit in Milford comes down to the details of your project.
Cabinets, countertops, tiling, and similar finish work without structural changes are exempt from permit statewide (CSBC R105.2, Building item 6). New or relocated circuits, moved sinks or gas lines, removed walls, and new range hood ducting need permits (CSBC R105.1). When interior alterations, repairs, or additions requiring a permit occur, or a sleeping room is added, the Connecticut amendments require smoke alarms throughout the dwelling unit as for new construction, plus carbon monoxide alarms (CSBC R314.2.2 and R315.2.2); exterior-only work and trade-only work are excepted. Connecticut does not adopt the International Fuel Gas Code; gas range piping follows NFPA 54 and NFPA 58 (CSBC R101.4.1).
