Additional Notes

UNCERTAIN: search results were inconsistent about the code officer's name (one source says "Dave Legauh" with phone 315-323-1202, available only 4-6PM on board meeting nights) and the office phone (another source lists 518-497-6931 for the Assessor & Code office at 191 East Main Street). The Village of Chateaugay does not appear to maintain a separate building department website; permits appear to be handled through the Town of Chateaugay's shared Assessor & Code office. This entry should be independently verified before use.

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 Chateaugay'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.
