Additional Notes
The town's Planning & Zoning page names a local Zoning Officer (Jerry Taylor) but also references Wyoming County (wyomingco.net) for Building & Codes, suggesting actual building permits are issued through Wyoming County Building Codes Dept (585-786-8820, 36 Center Street Suite C, Warsaw, NY 14569) — the same county department confirmed for the Town of Arcade — rather than by the Town directly. The email listed (townclerk@attica.org) is a general Town Clerk address, not confirmed as Taylor's direct email; treat as a hedge. General town office: 11 Exchange St. Suite 1, Attica, NY 14011. Note: this is the TOWN of Attica, distinct from the Village of Attica.
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 Attica'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.
