Sharing this atlas in case anyone is unaware of it.

The articles are interesting but be sure to click through to the atlas itself. It’s interactive and loaded with information about each town’s zoning. It wasn’t possible to find this in one place before this atlas was created and it’s incredibly useful, especially if you are planning to buy a house or land or build or want to convert a barn to a guest house etc

One interesting fact from the articles, something I didn’t know: over 80-percent of residential land in CT has minimum lot size of an acre. That seems super high to me as almost every town has denser areas of 1/4 acre, and so many subdivisions too. Still not sure I really even believe it but that’s what it says.
