Danbury Restaurants with outdoor dining must request a certification to reopen from the Danbury Permit Center.  Existing approvals must be verified in order to obtain a certification, confirming that the establishment meets Danbury Department of Health and Human Services guidelines for a safe reopening.  If a restaurant owner wants to establish a new outdoor dining area, the owners or operators will be required to submit a Temporary Outdoor Dining Permit application.   Application requirements can be found on the City website.  Restaurants will be allowed to use public sidewalks/public outdoor areas for outdoor dining.  But City officials cautioned that the certification form and Temporary Outdoor Dining Permit Application are being finalized.  When completed, they will be posted on the City’s website.  Completed applications will be processed within 10 calendar days.
