Branford Town Hall Now Open, Albeit With New Rules In Place

BRANFORD, CT — Not quite business as usual, but Town Hall is open to the public Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

That said, here's the new normal: lobby greeters will welcome residents, a limited number of people are permitted inside at any given time, masks must be worn, social distancing must be observed, and expected to see lobby greeters.

"We are reminding visitors that social distancing and face coverings are mandatory. Due to necessary personal safety precautions for employees and visitors, capacity will be limited throughout the building. For the short term, with limited hours, there will be a greeter in the lobby area to assist and monitor the number of individuals within the building. Once capacity is reached, in a given department, the greeter will ask visitors to wait outside until someone leaves that department and you are called in by the greeter.

We are continuing to remind and encourage residents to continue to take advantage of the availability of many town services via online, by phone or using the drop boxes located in the Town Hall lobby. Cash payments for permits, taxes, etc. should not be made using the drop boxes. Please visit our website at www.branford-ct.gov for additional information and a list of department phone numbers.

If you are sick, do not enter Town Hall and please contact your health provider.
It is paramount that everyone continue to follow safety precautions in an effort to reduce the spread of this virus within our community."
