Additional Notes

The Town of Lodi does not run its own building department; building permits and code enforcement are handled by Seneca County Code Enforcement (1 DiPronio Drive, Waterloo, NY 13165), confirmed by a 2025 NYS Office of the State Comptroller audit of the Town of Lodi referencing the 'County CEO' issuing/enforcing permits. County staff include Lee Earp (315-539-1954) and Mark Shaw (315-539-1628). A copy of the Town's own Zoning/Land Use Permit is required as part of the County building permit application. No direct county code-enforcement email was confirmed. Town Hall (non-permit) contact: (607) 582-6888, 8491 Mill Street, Lodi, NY 14860.

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 Lodi'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.
