Additional Notes

As of May 2024 the Town of Campbell transferred NYS Building & Fire Code administration to Steuben County; Charles (Chuck) Cagle serves as the Code Enforcement Officer for the town on the county's behalf. Building permit applications are picked up/paid for at Steuben County Public Works. Multiple phone numbers surfaced across sources (607-664-2460 office, 607-542-2175 cell, and an older listing of 607-527-8244 ext 220) - the office number above is from the most direct source but should be verified.

What You Need Before Applying for a Permit

Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Town of Campbell's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.

Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
