Greenburgh renovation plans need the permit FAQ check

Greenburgh homeowners should check the town permit FAQ before assuming a renovation is too small for review. Decks, additions, structural work, generators, pools, and other upgrades can look like ordinary contractor jobs until the permit file is missing. Before signing, ask the contractor which permit category applies, who files it, whether zoning or village jurisdiction changes the route, and what inspection closes the job.

This is not meant to make work feel scary. It is a practical reminder that Greenburgh’s local rules should be read before money and scheduling are locked in.

Read Greenburgh’s building-permit FAQ with the renovation plans and property address in front of you. Write down the permit category, required papers, inspection steps, and any point the building office must confirm.
