BUILDING PERMIT INFORMATION
Building permits are required for any structural changes to a residence or other building. Permits are also required for fences, sheds, swimming pools, and decks. Permits are also required for some additional items. Please check with the Village Clerk’s Office (716-683-1400) for information on items requiring a permit.
Please secure your building permit prior to beginning any work as a double permit fee will be charged for a permit requested after the work has been started or completed.

Do I need a license to do plumbing in the village? Yes. All plumbers need to be licensed by the village.
Why do I need to get a permit? The permit process allows the village to assist you in making sure that your project meets all New York State and Village of Depew Building Codes. This prevents problems before rather than after you complete the project.
How far in advance do I need to schedule an appointment for an inspection? 24 hours in advance.
I work during the day. Can they do an inspection in the evening? Arrangements can be made for inspections outside of normal business hours.
