*Important News From the Land Use Office
and Building Departments*
The Kent Land Use and Building Departments are excited to announce that
online permitting will be available starting JANUARY 8, 2024 via
ViewPoint/Open Gov.
Beginning JANUARY 8, 2024, the Town of Kent’s website
(https://www.townofkentct.org) will provide a live link to the ViewPoint/Open
Gov website where applicants can create their accounts or login in with
existing accounts enabling them to apply online for residential/commercial
zoning permits and/or building permits. For your convenience, there is a
public terminal in the Land Use Office in Town Hall for use by applicants who
need access.
This new online permitting system will:
• Allow applicants to apply for permits from their office/home eliminating the
need to drop off or mail each application.
• Allow applicants the ability to schedule building inspections online,
eliminating the need to call the Inspection Line.
• Allow applicants to view the status of their applications and inspections
eliminating the need for phone calls to the Land Use Office.
• Allow applicants to pay their fees online via credit card (some fees apply).
• Allow documentation of communications regarding the application
requirements.
While it is going to be a more streamlined process with this up-to-date
permitting program, please know that the staff of both the Land Use Office and
Building Department will be available to assist in guiding applicants with their
submissions.
Thanks for your patience while we all adjust to this change. Please know that
we will continue to make the approval of your applications as seamless as
possible.
