Additional Notes

The town's official site (townofurbana.gov) surfaces only a general Town Clerk contact (607-569-3743, clerk@townofurbana.com) on its Staff and Planning & Zoning pages; the site's content for those specific sections did not render a named Code Enforcement Officer, direct code-enforcement phone/email, or online portal in this research pass. A third-party directory (211 Finger Lakes) separately lists a 'Town Code Enforcement Office' at the same Town Hall address using the same phone number, suggesting the Town Clerk's line is the general point of contact that routes callers to code enforcement -- included here as a hedge rather than a confirmed direct line. Town Hall address is 8014 Pleasant Valley Road, Bath NY (sources vary between zip 14840 and 14810; 14840 appears more consistent with the Town Clerk's own listings). Officer identity not confirmed.

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 Urbana'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.
