How we compile this. The source is New Canaan municipal permit records. These records are imported periodically and are not a live feed from the town. A permit’s presence does not, by itself, confirm that work was completed or passed final inspection. Dates shown are issue dates unless identified otherwise. Descriptions may be lightly edited for readability without changing material details. Dollar amounts are town-reported project costs or permit valuations, not estimates of the property’s market value.
