Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, and Town Clerk Rich LaMarca announced the launch of a new online permit system that allows residents, businesses, and contractors to apply for more than 20 types of fast-order building permits—all from the convenience of their home or office. The announcement was made at a special ceremony on March 4.

The Building Division Portal, accessible via the Town’s website, streamlines applications for projects like fences, generators, sprinkler systems, solar panels, and more. Officials were joined at the announcement by representatives from the Long Island Builders Institute, including Executive Director Michael Florio, President Anthony Barone, and Vice President John Weiss.

“This new system is a game-changer for homeowners and contractors alike,” said Florio. “By modernizing the permitting process, the Town of Oyster Bay is cutting red tape, saving time, and making it easier for businesses and residents to get projects done efficiently.”

Saladino added, “This great service allows applicants to submit materials, track progress, schedule inspections, and receive updates – all without stepping foot in Town Hall.”

The portal also provides step-by-step instructions, checklists, and a full list of eligible permits. Homeowners can create an account, while contractors can request activation online. For more details, visit oysterbaytown.com/buildingportal
