Additional Notes

Code Enforcement Officer is Dominick Caropreso, office by appointment only. The department page lists an email address, but it rendered as an obfuscated/placeholder string in automated fetches and could not be reliably confirmed — verify directly on the site or by phone before use. General Town Clerk contact 518-734-4170 / windhamtownclerk@mhcable.com may also route inquiries. Two town domains exist (townofwindhamny.gov and townofwindhamny.com); both point to the same office. Address: 371 NY-296, Hensonville, NY 12439.

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 Windham'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.
