Who to contact for your setup

Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. A result on duration is not approval of the location or utility arrangements; variances are separate.

Use the Fairfield parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
