Plandome Permit Questions

Which form do I use?

The short form covers plumbing and small jobs, including generators and most accessory structures. The long form covers new buildings, additions, alterations, fences, decks, driveways, patios, demolition, pools, retaining walls and fill over 50 cubic yards. The long form requires a Design Review Board meeting.

Does a repair need a permit?

Maybe. The Building Inspector says a permit is not required for maintenance, but a permit may be required for a repair. Generators need a permit and cannot go in the front yard.

Eight full sets of drawings at quarter-inch scale, photos of the house and of the neighboring houses on each side, and material samples. The Village says review takes 4–6 weeks, but not more than 62 days, from a complete submission.

Can I take down a tree?

Trees 10 inches or more in diameter need a permit. Mark each tree with a ribbon and include an arborist report. The Village rates each tree, and a denial can be appealed to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
