Use this address when the jurisdiction needs to be listed as a certificate holder on a contractor's insurance documentation.

Additional Notes

Uncertain/hedged: town department page lists Rose Santiago & Donnie Rion in connection with Code Enforcement (phone ext. varies: 307 or 6209 ext. 307 depending on page), but the town also has posted a 'Help Wanted: Building Inspector / Code Enforcement Officer' listing, suggesting recent or pending staffing turnover - current officer identity is uncertain. Verified as distinct from the separately-governed Village of Hunter (own Building Inspector, Carl Giangrande) within the same town. Office mailing address: PO Box 70, Tannersville, NY 12485.

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 Hunter'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.
