Be prepared with copies of your driver's license, vehicle registration, and any additional documentation you might need to prove residence or place of work depending upon permit type. 

STEP 1: Register for CitySquared, the platform the Village uses for online permit applications.

  • Link: https://www.citysquared.com/#/app/map/DobbsFerryVillageNY
  • You will be asked your name, phone number, and mailing address as you would be for the in-person application. Once you register the first time, you will not need to do so for future permit applications.
  • You will be asked to confirm your registration through your email address.
  • You will then need to login using your email address and the password you chose. 
  • After you login the first time, you will be asked for additional information, much of which you can ignore as it only applies to building permits.
