Codes and Development
Welcome from the Director of Codes and Development
 |
| Robert Graham |
The Codes and Development Department provides the services of Code Enforcement, Building Inspection, Fire Marshal and serves as the liaison to the Planning, Zoning and Conservation Boards. Our professional staff stands ready to assist you with local and state regulations regarding land development, permits and fire safety.
Please take a few minutes to browse the information provided here on our web page. We have included many helpful links to assist you with understanding what our department can and can't do. We wish we could help everyone but occasionally, a concern reaches our department which we just do not have the jurisdictional authority to regulate. When this happens we do attempt to refer the concern to the appropriate agency.
Thank you for visiting! If you have any questions we haven't been able to answer here on our website, please do not hesitate to call our office.
Best Regards,
Robert Graham
Codes and Development Director
Special Memo from the Director of Codes & Development
June 27, 2011
In the last few days our department has been inundated with request for service including inspections, site reviews, plan reviews, and complaint investigations. Our staff is working very hard to insure each of these service requests is processed and reviewed in a timely manner.
Applications submitted today should be reviewed and initial review notes returned to you within:
- 7 business days for: Sheds, Decks, Pools, Porches, Roofs, Windows, Fences and any small residential projects.
- 12 Business days for: New Homes, Home Renovations, Garages, and any large residential projects.
- 14 business days for: Commercial buildings and large projects.
In fairness to all applicants, we do not offer rush services. Inspectors will review the applications as quickly as possible and will contact you either by phone, fax, or e-mail (your preference) when the review has been completed.
We understand the importance of your project, and we are working as quickly as possible to expedite all reviews.
We appreciate your cooperation while your plans are being reviewed. To ensure the speediest review possible please assist us by doing the following:
- Make sure applications are complete and checks are made out to the Town of Victor.
- Don't call for status of review prior to the expiration of the above listed time windows.
- Don't ask for special provisions. Foundations may NOT be started until the permit has been issued.
- Please allow 24-48 hours lead time for scheduling all inspections.
Again, we are very busiy this summer and we appreciate your cooperation and patience.
