The City of Hartford is focused on working with applicants seeking permission to move their commercial activities outdoors.

If you are seeking permission to: serve food and beverages outside, to display retail goods outside, and/or to put up temporary COVID-19-related signage, please complete and submit the form that is located at https://hartfordzoning.wufoo.com/forms/special-application-for-outdoor-activities/.

As part of the CT reopening process the DECD requires that each business must self-certify and commit to comply with the Sector Rules established to keep their employees and customers safe. Upon completion, you will be provided with signage and a badge that you can voluntarily post at your place of business or on your website.

Certify your business by completing the questionnaire located at https://service-ct.force.com/recovery/s/?language=en_US

Downloadable guidelines for each business sector can be accessed by clicking on the  relevant link below:
