Additional Notes
The town's Code Enforcement page did not display a populated officer name, direct phone, or email (only a 'People' placeholder). Phone listed is the general Town Hall number; address 12 Mitchell Street, Canajoharie, NY 13317, hours Mon-Thu 9am-2pm. This is the Town government, distinct from the separately-governed Village of Canajoharie, which has its own building code chapter.
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 Canajoharie'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.
