3-NY-g.1 – Contact the Thruway Authority Division Permit Coordinator
To inquire about an occupancy permit for the use of Thruway Authority Property, the developer should contact the Thruway Authority’s Division Permit Coordinator (DPC). Upon receipt of the developer’s inquiry, the DPC will evaluate the inquiry, provide the developer with an Occupancy Permit Application and related materials, and assist the developer in understanding the application process. New York State Bureau of Management Analysis and Projects – Occupancy Permits, p. 3.
3-NY-g.2 - Occupancy Permit Application Package
To request approval to use and occupy Thruway Authority Property, the developer must submit an Occupancy Permit Application Package to the Thruway Authority’s Division Permit Coordinator. The developer’s Occupancy Permit Application Package must include the following:
- An Occupancy Permit Application;
- Detailed plans and maps indicating the proposed use and occupancy;
- If any structure is to be built on the Thruway Authority Property, engineering design plans of the structure;
- A current insurance certificate with adequate coverage;
- A surety deposit/bond;
- A municipal resolution authorizing the municipal official to sign on behalf of a municipality; and

3-NY-g.5 - Review Occupancy Permit Application Package
Once complete, the Thruway Authority, in collaboration with the Office of Real Property Management (ORPM), conducts a substantive review of the developer’s Occupancy Permit Application Package, in accordance with the New York State Thruway Authority - Transaction Analysis Process.
