Office of Zoning and Building Inspection

​"On April 27, 1833 the Village of Penn Yan was incorporated, and from this time on the village officials have found themselves faced with fundamental changes involving every aspect of community life. While only a few simple laws were necessary in the early days, the complexity of modern life has created the need for detailed laws or ordinances for the government of a progressive village."  - 1965
