Located in the lower level of Ledyard Town Hall, the Building Department ensures that building construction conforms to the highest possible standards, addressing the health, safety and welfare of the public. Such factors as structural strength, proper egress, light and ventilation, sanitation and fire safety all come under the department's purview. The department scrutinizes design, construction, repair, removal and demolition of buildings, as well as occupancy of buildings, structures or premises. The town Building Official is Randy Dalton.
