General guidelines are when changes: to increase or decrease number of rooms; change their size or the use of the room that is different than the approved plan; or when adding square footage to a project.

Steps required to Amend an Existing Permit:

• New signed and notarized application with the Description: AMEND P# (XXXXX) for: ______ (state the change)
• Submit four (4) sets of plans (bubble out area of change)
• Submit $200 check for the plans to be reviewed again
• There will be an additional fee if square footage is added to the project
• Submit the Amendment to the Permit Examiner who 'took in' the application - we work Amendments into our schedule as soon as possible
• It may be necessary to update the Workers' Compensation and Suffolk County License if they have expired during the time of the permit and before an Amended Permit will be issued
• If the plan is to change the type of wood or simple structural changes, those go directly to the Plan Examiner for their review
