Wood stove permits in Harrison.
File on paper with the Town/Village Building Department.
Harrison is a single town and village, and its Building Department at 1 Heineman Place (914-670-3050) issues permits for additions, alterations and accessory work. Applications go in person or by mail; incomplete ones are mailed back, and signatures must be notarized where applicable. The Residential Short Form covers chimney lining (with manufacturer specifications) and HVAC, while the full Building Permit Application covers alterations. No form names wood stoves, so ask which one a stove or insert takes. The March 2026 fee schedule lists $150 plus $15 per $1,000 of cost and a $200 completion fee for residential permits.
Harrison Building Department: Applications & DocumentsWho this guide fits in Harrison.
About half of Harrison’s housing units are single-family detached homes and about 60% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, according to ACS 2024 estimates, so many residents can plan a stove project themselves. The Town/Village fee schedule prices commercial and multifamily permits separately, with a per-unit multifamily fee. If you rent or live in a condo or apartment building, the owner or board controls the chimney and the permit; raise heating questions with them first.
Harrison Building Department fees (PDF, March 2026)The Architectural Board of Review may see exterior work.
Harrison’s Building Department says most residential construction requires approval from the Architectural Board of Review, while interior alterations are reviewed and approved by the Building Inspector. A new exterior chimney, a through-wall flue or a taller chimney cap changes how the house looks. Ask whether your stove project needs ABR approval before you order equipment, because a board meeting can add weeks to the schedule.
Harrison Building DepartmentDoing the work yourself still needs paperwork.
Harrison says proper license and/or insurance is required for all permits, and its forms page offers an insurance sample or a workers’ compensation waiver for homeowners acting as their own contractor. The Short Form also includes a hold-harmless agreement signed by the contractor. If you hire an installer, ask for its insurance certificates before filing; if you install yourself, get the homeowner waiver first.

- Can you give the Building Department your insurance certificates and the liner manufacturer’s specifications?

Harrison wood stove installation FAQs.
Do I need a permit for a wood stove in Harrison?
Expect one. Harrison’s Building Department issues permits for alterations, and its Residential Short Form lists chimney lining installation or repair with manufacturer specifications. No Harrison form names wood stoves, so ask the department at 914-670-3050 whether a stove or insert goes on the Short Form or the full Building Permit Application. Applications are filed in person or by mail.
Does Harrison’s Architectural Board of Review look at stove projects?
It may. The Building Department says most residential construction requires ABR approval, while interior alterations are reviewed by the Building Inspector. An insert in an existing fireplace is mostly interior work, but a new exterior chimney or a flue through a wall changes the house’s appearance. Ask before you buy equipment.
Is Harrison cold enough for a wood stove to make sense?
The Westchester County Airport station, close to Harrison, averages 29.8°F in January in NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals. A stove can be practical supplemental or outage heat in a house with a sound chimney. It is unlikely to replace a central system, so weigh the full installed cost first.
