A critical aspect of local land use regulation is the level of code enforcement being implemented.  Rules and regulations do not have any impact on community quality if they are not enforced.  To view a list of all municipal Code Enforcement Officers in Steuben County, click on the highlighted words.  In some cases the same person enforces both the Zoning Law and the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code.  In other municipalities, there is a specific inspector for each.  Applicants should familiarize themselves with the particular approach of the municipality in which they are applying, and be sure to apply for all applicable permits.
