Additional Notes

The town's own official page names Bobbi Elderkin as the current Code Enforcement Officer; however, an older (2020) county directory listed a Bobbi Elderkin as the Town of Lyndon's Assessor, not CEO (and a Bobbi Elderkin is also separately listed as Assessor for the neighboring Town of Little Valley), so there is some chance of a role mix-up between similarly-named officials or the same person holding multiple roles across small towns -- flagged as a hedge. The email lyndoncode@yahoo.com is masked by email-protection on the official site but was recovered via search-engine indexing; treat as a reasonably confident but not 100% verified value. Mailing address: 852 Lyndon Center Road, Cuba, NY 14727. General town phone: 716-676-9928.

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 Lyndon'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.
