Additional Notes
The Village of Lake George elected not to administer/enforce the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention & Building Code itself and granted that authority to Warren County's Dept. of Fire Prevention & Building Code Enforcement (Warren County Human Services Building, 3rd Floor, 1340 State Route 9, Lake George, NY 12845), which issues building permits; a Certificate of Compliance from the Village is a prerequisite. Separately, the Village retains its own Code Enforcement Officer, James Anagnos, for zoning/local land-use compliance (not building permits): phone (518) 668-5771 ext. 100, email codeenforcement@lgvillage.org.
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 Lake George'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.
