Town of Babylon · Suffolk County
Use the Town's Environmental tank-removal category, not only a Building permit request. Prepare the complete Suffolk tax-map reference.
Before you search
Physical address, district/section/block/lot (SCTM), approximate dates and known permit number. Confirm Town versus incorporated village custody.
Bring what you have. Missing identifiers can be part of the route review.The Town's FOIL checklist lists storage tanks and Tank Removal under Environmental, separately from Building permits and Fire inspection reports. Describe the tank-removal file explicitly so a general Building-only request does not leave that record family unresolved.
Official sourceOfficial local record instructions↗The same application asks for the full SCTM identifier, physical address and whether you want review only. Follow its current Clerk submission instructions and fee disclosures. Keep a copy and reference when you send it; preparing the worksheet is not a submission.
Official sourceOfficial local record instructions↗The Town Assessor maintains property cards and related records that can help identify the parcel. Confirm whether the Town or an incorporated village holds the work file. A Town Environmental response does not cover Suffolk Health or a DEC spill file unless those records are specifically included.

The Town Environmental tank-removal file plus any separately identified local permit documents.
Match the full SCTM and physical address; retain the departmental response scope.
Still missing? A Building-only response does not settle whether Environmental holds a tank-removal record.
List Town/village, Suffolk Health and DEC references separately.
Still missing? Do not extend one office's no-record reply to all record holders.

Your private record worksheet
Prepare search keys here, open the official sources above, then record what happened. Nothing is searched or sent automatically. A postal city or ZIP does not establish legal jurisdiction.
Suggested document scope for this route: the Environmental storage-tank/tank-removal file and related Building permits and final inspections. Narrow this to the files you still need.
Start with the identifiers and first applicable source. An online blank, an inaccessible portal and an agency no-record reply are three different outcomes.
No result is not proof of no tank. A candidate document still needs its property, issuer, dates and stated scope checked.
Review and edit bracketed fields after copying. Use the agency’s current official form, disclosures and fee instructions. Drafted ≠ sent ≠ acknowledged ≠ delivered.
Default: this tab’s session only. Device saving is optional; avoid it on shared devices. No property details enter the page URL or analytics.
Optional human research is available for NJ/NY, subject to intake review. The worksheet is separate and is not attached automatically.
Make the request specific
Please provide existing Environmental storage-tank and tank-removal records, plus related Building permits and final inspections held by the Town, for [physical address; district/section/block/lot], [dates]. Known permit [number]. Please identify any separate village custodian.
Replace the bracketed fields and follow the agency’s current form, disclosure, and fee instructions. This is a draft, not a sent request.
This is the Town of Babylon route, not the Village of Babylon's request process. Ask for existing documents; a custodian response is not a physical tank inspection.
