Glastonbury, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-98
Ceiling height
Operative Text
Ceiling height shall conform to the standards as required by the statutes, ordinances and regulations of the state and the town.
Section 9-98 of the Glastonbury Code of Ordinances establishes that ceiling heights in rental or residential spaces must meet the minimum standards set by applicable Connecticut state statutes, local ordinances, and other governing regulations. The provision does not set a specific numeric measurement itself but instead incorporates by reference whatever height requirements exist at the state and municipal level. Any space that fails to meet those incorporated standards would be considered non-compliant under this section.

Under Glastonbury Code ch. 9, art. III § 9-98, compliant property operators generally verify that all habitable rooms and spaces meet the ceiling height minimums required by Connecticut state law and Glastonbury's local ordinances before renting or continuing to rent a unit. Because the provision incorporates standards from multiple regulatory sources, operators typically review both state building codes and any applicable town regulations to confirm compliance. Keeping documentation of inspections or permits that confirm ceiling height conformance is a common practice among compliant operators.
