Thinking of Building in Mendon?

The process is NOT difficult at all… Follow these few steps and you’ll glide through the process.

If you have an Approved Building Lot with an Approved Septic System, you may continue… However, if you DO NOT have an approved building lot, contact our officials for more details regarding the approval process.
1) Download a Building Permit Application (near top of page, center column) or pick one up from our office
2) Fill-out and Submit the Application along with (2) Wet Sealed Copies of your Design Specifications (a “Wet Seal” is the NYS Engineers stamp of approval)
3) We’ll review your plans (The Plan Review period may vary depending on the size and complexity of the plan)
4) You will be notified in a few days that your plan has been accepted… If there are issues with your plan, we will forward suggestions so that you may discuss them with your Design Professional (Any suggestions or requirements are based soley on design criteria as prescribed in the NYS Uniform Family of Codes)
5) If Accepted, you will be given a fee amount according to the most current Fee Schedule… Your payment is to be made at the Clerk’s Office with the Application in hand that is Signed by a Building Department Official… The Clerk will then Stamp your Permit Application “PAID”
6) Upon returning the Stamped Application to the Office of the Building Department, you will be given a Signed Permit Card to be conspicuously posted either in a window of an existing structure or on a newly framed wall of a structure… If the permit is for an accessory structure, post on the primary structure if applicable.
