Our mission:

Our mission is to promote health, safety, quality of life and the overall general welfare of the community through the enforcement of the Zoning Regulations of the City of Bridgeport.

The Zoning Department is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in the City of Bridgeport through innovative, proven planning techniques, and providing excellent customer service in a professional and timely manner. We also provide high quality construction permitting, plan review and building inspection services in a way that is responsive and customer friendly.

Inspectors & Enforcement Officers are in during the morning hours only, for discussion, plan review and consultation regarding the filing of applications for Zoning Compliance, or petitions to the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Reduced staff are available during the afternoon hours for basic information and the distribution of forms & applications.

The complaint line number is 203-576-8017. Complaints phoned in after 5pm or on the weekend will go into a voice mail box which is monitored daily.

The Zoning Department promotes strategic growth and development in the City, in part, by initiating comprehensive, consensus-based planning and zoning changes for individual neighborhoods and business districts. It supports the City Planning Commission and each year reviews more than 500 land use applications for actions such as zoning changes and disposition of City property. The Department assists both government agencies and the public by providing policy analysis and technical assistance relating to housing, transportation, community facilities, demography and public space.
