Riverhead building permits need notarized application paperwork

A contractor’s completed form may not be enough for a Riverhead building permit. The Town Building Department says it must receive the original notarized application before it will issue a permit.

Use the town forms page to get the current Building Department papers. Check the owner and contractor details. Add the notarized signatures and supporting plans. Then confirm how the town wants the packet sent or delivered.

This rule may explain a gap in the record for an older job, even when the work looks done. Before you file, check the signed papers against the current project. Keep the property address, parcel number, application number, permit number, and deadline with the forms.
