Your Permit. Your Status. Plain Language.
The Office of Constituent Services is the City of Beacon Falls’ single front door for permits, licenses, grants, and records. Every resident and small business gets one case file — not a scavenger hunt across five portals.

Meet the Director
“A constituent should never need to learn the City’s org chart to get an answer. We pre-screen, we tell you what you need, and if a department says no, we tell you the same day in writing — with the work to fix it. That’s the whole job.”
Eleni Vasquez, MPA
Director · Office of Constituent Services · Serving Beacon Falls since 2018
What we handle
One front door. Four kinds of work.
Licenses & Grants
02Business licenses, parklet licenses, façade matching grants, and the Small-Business Resilience Fund. Annual renewals come pre-filled — you do not start from blank.
Learn More →Records & Disputes
03Public records requests, address verification, certificate of occupancy lookups, and quiet escalations when a department response stalls. No FOIA scavenger hunts.

A City Hall that reads its own rulebook so you don’t have to
Before constituent services, Eleni ran Beacon Falls Permitting for six years. That background shows up in the way she explains decisions, surfaces every condition in writing, and talks departments out of silent rejections.

Constituent Stories
“Eleni walked us through the historic overlay before we paid an architect. We saved about $14,000 by knowing the signage rule up front. By the third meeting she was flagging things in our own plans faster than we were.”Marcus & Talia B. · Cedar District
