Greece remodels and additions need the town building route
Greece residents planning remodeling or additions should check the town building pages before hiring or starting work.

A remodel in Greece may need a town permit even when the job looks simple. Use the town Building Department page and its page for remodels and additions. A checklist from another city or town may not match Greece’s rules.
Check before you sign a building contract. Ask whether the work needs an application, which office reviews it, and when inspections happen. This is useful for an addition, garage, structural change, or indoor work that could affect safety or later sale papers.
Have the property address and plans in front of you. Keep the Building Department form, application or permit number, inspection result, and any office handoff with the project.
