Kings Point is an incorporated village with its own building department. Permits for work here are issued by the Village of Kings Point — not by the Town of North Hempstead and not by Nassau County.
That trips up homeowners and out-of-area contractors constantly. Filing with the town when the village has jurisdiction means the application comes back and the clock restarts.

Boards That Can Affect Your Project
Projects in Kings Point may require review beyond the building department itself:
- Architectural Review Committee
- Board of Trustees
Each board meets on its own calendar. This is where village timelines are won or lost. A project that needs board review and misses a filing deadline waits for the next meeting — and that delay is invisible until it has already happened.
What Is Specific to Kings Point
Kings Point requires that all overhead utilities be placed underground, subject to Architectural Review Committee approval — and an underground electrical easement from the Board of Trustees must be obtained before work starts. On a project that touches service lines, that sequencing decision has to be made at design stage, not on site. Note: Kings Point Village Hall carries a Great Neck mailing address.

Permit Questions
Does Kings Point issue its own building permits?
Yes. Kings Point is an incorporated village with its own building department at 32 Stepping Stone Lane, Great Neck, NY 11024. Permits are issued by the village, not by the town or Nassau County.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Kings Point?
In nearly all cases, yes. Interior alterations require a permit, and work involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes requires permits and inspections.
What happens if work is done without a permit in Kings Point?
Unpermitted work can result in stop-work orders, fines, and difficulty obtaining a certificate of occupancy. It also commonly surfaces at resale, when a municipal search reveals open or absent permits.
How long does a Kings Point building permit take?
Timelines depend on scope and whether the project requires board review. Board review is scheduled by meeting calendar, which is typically the largest variable. Contact the Building Department at 516-504-1000 for current processing times.
