What can I build on my lot?

Ask about any Fairfield County lot. Get the answer, and the exact town rule it comes from.

LEO uses the address to look up your lot's zone, size, wetlands and flood maps.

How it works

  1. 1
    Tell LEO where

    Your town and street address. LEO looks up the lot's zone and size for you.

  2. 2
    Say what you want to build

    In your own words: “a 12×16 shed in the back corner” or “a second floor over the garage.”

  3. 3
    Get the answer

    A one-line bottom line, the numbers, and the section of the town's rules each one comes from.
