Village of Orchard Park

What Village of Orchard Park does

The Village of Orchard Park is an incorporated municipal government serving residents and property owners within a defined geographic boundary in the Town of Orchard Park, Erie County, New York. It delivers core local government services including potable water, refuse and recycling collection, building permit issuance and inspection, zoning administration, and community planning.

Its operating stack centers on standard municipal technology: a CivicPlus CivicReady notification platform for emergency and service alerts to residents, a web-based portal for online building permit applications, and a Service Line Inventory database used to document water service line materials in line with EPA Lead and Copper Rule requirements. Planning and regulatory functions are supported by traditional zoning code administration and a forthcoming Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code revision cycle scheduled for 2026.

The Village's revenue model is tax- and fee-based — funded primarily through property taxes, water and sewer user charges, and building permit fees — rather than market-priced goods or services. Operational decisions are made through the Village's governing board, with no equity funding, M&A activity, or commercial sales motion typical of a private-sector company. Recent strategic emphasis has been on digitizing resident-facing workflows and tightening enforcement of permitting rules, including adopting a fee for work performed without required permits.
