If Between zoning approvals, plan reviews, inspections, and Historic District oversight, navigating Hartford’s permitting process can be overwhelming. If delays occur, projects can miss deadlines, incur rising costs, and frustrate teams.
Our seasoned local expeditors understand how to cut through the red tape and keep your commercial project moving forward.
We take over the legwork: dropping off or picking up applications and filings from Hartford’s Development Services department, so your team stays focused on the work that matters.
Before you submit, our team digs deep. We explore Hartford’s requirements for Planning & Zoning, Historic District compliance, site plan criteria, and more to deliver a precise report outlining required permits, approvals, timelines, and fees.
From application preparation to portal upload via Hartford’s Accela system, to coordination with city reviewers, to managing required Historic District or code-related steps—our team handles it all, ensuring your permit is “ready to issue” as smoothly as possible.
We’ve supported projects ranging from adaptive reuse and historic renovations to new commercial builds and tenant improvements, and are well versed in Hartford’s zoning, inspections, and municipal code nuances.
