The Development Office assists residents, businesses and developers with a variety of activities. For example, by law, new construction and major changes to existing structures within the Town require building permits. We will help you determine if your project requires a building permit and how you can obtain it. You can browse our web page for the type of permit you are seeking. Our office also processes applications for the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. We meet with property owners and builders to review applicable Town zoning and development regulations and the requirements of the State building code that may affect your project. Our overall objective is to assist you in understanding the requirements that affect your project and advise you on how to obtain the needed Town approvals so you can properly proceed with your project as quickly as possible.
Our web page also provides information on the Town’s Comprehensive Plan Update project. We are tracking the progress of this work and provide information on the content of the plan as it is being formulated.
With your help, we will keep this web page current and make sure it remains an important resource for the community on development requirements, issues and activities in the Town of Canandaigua. Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.
