In addition to homeowner services, contractors can now register with the Town of Perinton at no cost through the portal. The platform allows them to:

- Manage all active permits in one place
- Allow customers to add them to their permits
Spring Is the Perfect Time to Start Your Project
With the arrival of warmer weather, many homeowners are eager to enhance their outdoor spaces. The Perinton Building & Codes Department reminds residents that permits are required for common projects such as:
- Decks – Permits required for all decks attached to a house or elevated off the ground.
- Sheds – All sheds require a permit, and size/location regulations apply.
- Fences – A permit is needed for any permanent fence installation.
These permits can now be easily completed online. For complete details on building requirements and project guidelines, visit the Building & Codes Department webpage.
“Spring is one of the busiest times for our Building & Codes Department, so we encourage residents and contractors to get their permit applications in early and take advantage of the convenience this system offers,” continued Hanna.
The Building & Codes Department is available to assist residents throughout the permitting process, and staff can provide a brief in-office tutorial on how to use the new online permitting portal.
