Additional Notes
Code Enforcement Officer is Anthony Validzic (also Floodplain Manager and Real Property Data Collector); cell (315) 694-0887, fax (315) 536-9760. A secondary source (ZoomInfo) suggested an email on a townofmilo.com domain, but this could not be confirmed against the town's official site and was left out. The Village of Penn Yan sits within the Town of Milo and has its own separate code enforcement officer — do not confuse the two.
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 Milo'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.
