Additional Notes
No dedicated village building/code enforcement webpage was found. Wyoming County operates a countywide Fire & Building Code Enforcement office (585-786-8820, Code Enforcement Officer Donald Roberts, 36 Center Street Suite C / also cited as 143 North Main Street, Warsaw, NY 14569) that serves multiple towns and villages in the county; it is plausible but NOT confirmed that the Village of Gainesville is one of the municipalities that contracts with the county for this service -- treat as an uncertain lead pending direct confirmation with the village clerk.
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 Gainesville'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.
