Additional Notes
Building permits for construction/alteration/renovation are issued by Wyoming County Building Codes (Agricultural & Business Center, 36 Center Street, Suite C, Warsaw, NY 14569), not the Town directly. Zoning (land-use) permits are separately handled by Wyoming County Zoning Dept at 585-786-3152 (Don Roberts, Zoning & Code Enforcement Officer; Nicole Grover, Zoning Enforcement Officer). Town of Arcade main office: 7340 Route 98, Arcade, NY 14009, 585-492-4685. Note: this is the TOWN of Arcade — a separate Village of Arcade also exists in the same area with its own government (villageofarcadeny.gov).
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 Arcade'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.
