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

Additional Notes

Phone shown is the general Village Hall line (9-11 Church Street); the official village site publishes a Code Enforcement forms/applications page but does not list a direct departmental phone, email, or named officer. Third-party directory listings mention a 'Fredonia Building Inspector' at 9 Church St Unit 11 with phone 716-679-2313, but that could not be verified against an official source, so it is omitted rather than treated as confirmed -- call the Village Hall main line to reach Code Enforcement.

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 — Village of Fredonia'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.
