Additional Notes

Castile has a combined Town/Village website (castileny.gov). Per its FAQ, a Village zoning permit is required first for any improvement, after which the County (Wyoming County Building and Fire Codes, 585-786-8820, 36 Center Street Suite C, Warsaw NY 14569) issues the actual building permit. No dedicated named Village code enforcement officer was found; the Village Clerk, Kathryn Shearing (585-493-5340 ext. 102, 53 North Main St), was the closest identifiable staff contact but her role is clerical, not code enforcement, so she was not recorded as certHolder.

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 Castile'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.
