Important Connecticut note

Connecticut handles most zoning, building, planning, wetlands, assessor, and land records questions at the town level, not the county level. Counties in Connecticut no longer function as county governments, so this page points you to the state parcel system and to a representative town department set within Tolland County.

Use this page as a starting point to identify the right town office before you buy land or begin a project.

How this page fits into land search decisions

This page documents official permitting, zoning, land use, and parcel research resources for one Connecticut county area. It is most useful after you already know that Tolland County is a viable place for your goals.

If you are still deciding where to look rather than researching a specific county or town, a land locator can help narrow regions first before you spend time on town-level details.
