Additional Notes
Chenango County's Fire and Building Code Enforcement Department handles enforcement for all county municipalities except the Town/Village of Greene, Village of Earlville, and the City of Norwich — the Village of Sherburne is not in that exception list, so its building permits are administered by the county office at 5 Court Street, Norwich, NY. Permit applications are initially routed through the Village Clerk's office (15 West State Street, Sherburne, NY 13460, 607-674-2300) before being forwarded to the county. Note there is also a separate Town of Sherburne government with its own code enforcement contact (Matt Gladstone, 607-373-5515) — do not confuse the Town with the Village entry here; this confirmation is based on general county policy language rather than a document naming Sherburne specifically, so treat with some caution.
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 Sherburne'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.
