Additional Notes
Village of Lima maintains its own Code Enforcement office (distinct from the separate Town of Lima code enforcement office, which uses codes@townoflima.org / 585-624-7911 - do not confuse the two). The village's official Code Enforcement page does not list a dedicated phone/email for that office specifically, so the general Village Office contact is given above. One third-party listing named a 'Paul Luft, Manager' in connection with the office, but this could not be confirmed on the official village site, so it is omitted from certHolder fields as an unconfirmed hedge.
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 — Village of Lima'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.
