I have old permit paperwork. Is it still good?
Maybe not. Floral Park's application forms were revised in mid-2026. Older paperwork may need to be refiled on current forms.

Why do permits matter when I sell or refinance?
The Village notes that permits and inspections make home equity loans, mortgages and resale go smoothly. The reverse is also true. An unpermitted finished basement, A/C condenser or patio can stall a sale until it's legalized.
