Apply for a Permit Online

We want to alert our applicants to a recent scam targeting individuals by impersonating The Planning and Zoning Department.

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. 

What you should know:

• We never ask for additional payments through wire transfer. . 
• All email communications will come verified channels, such as Farmington-ct.org or from OpenGov.com. 
• If you receive any suspicious communication, do not click on any links or provide any information.

What to do if you're contacted:

1. Do not respond.
2. Take a screenshot or copy the message.
3. Report it to us immediately at 860-675-2325.

We take your security seriously and are actively working to stop these scams. Please remain vigilant and contact us if you have any concerns.

The Town of Farmington uses an online permitting system; this system will allow you to apply for permits and make payments from the office or home.

Applications that can be applied for are:

• Building / Zoning Permits
• Sewer Permits
• Obstruction/Excavation Permits
• West Farms Mall Tenant Improvements

Please visit the site at https://farmingtonct.viewpointcloud.com

The site will require you to enter an email address and create a password for access to the site.

You will then be given the choice of permit type.

Please fill out the form completely; this will prevent delays during the approval process.

You will be notified via email, multiple times, through out the approval process informing you of the application status. You may also log in to the system (https://farmingtonct.viewpointcloud.com) to view the current status of pending applications by checking your profile page.

After any needed approvals are complete you will be required to pay a fee; this is based upon the work being done.

Payments may be made online, in person, or mailing a check payable to Town of Farmington; please print the permit number in the memo section of the check. The Mailing address is: 

Building Department

1 Monteith Dr.

Farmington, CT 06032

A electronic permit (Building / Zoning) will be issued though the new system after payment has been processed.  Please print and keep on job site at all times.

Please note that the application process is not an approval to begin work.  Work on a project may only begin after the application has been approved, payment has been made, AND a valid permit has been issued.

Inspections will be scheduled by phoning the building department at 860-675-2315.

A Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Acceptance will be issued, by the system, after a final inspection has occurred.
