Operative Text
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the board of appeals may within 30 days of the decision seek review thereof in a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided by the laws of this state.
Section 9-136 of Groton's Code of Ordinances establishes a judicial review pathway for anyone who disagrees with a decision issued by the board of appeals. The aggrieved party must initiate that court review within 30 days of the board's decision, and the review proceeds under Connecticut state law. This time-limited window applies to any person — tenant, landlord, or other party — who was affected by the board's ruling.

Under § 9-136, property owners or managers who receive an unfavorable ruling from the board of appeals have a defined 30-day window to seek review in a court of competent jurisdiction. Operators who wish to challenge a board decision generally track the exact date of that decision carefully, since the deadline is tied to it. Consulting with a licensed Connecticut attorney promptly after receiving a board ruling is a common step for those considering this option.
