Town Code Book
A useful tool to have access to is the Town Code Book! It's accessible via the Department tab located at the very top of the website, the Board & Committee tab at the very top of the website, to the left of this paragraph, and as a widget on the main page! You could also use the link below!
Office
Our office is located on the Main floor just beyond the Town Clerk's Office.
Home Improvements
If you are thinking about doing ANYTHING to your home – inside or out – It would be well advised to make a phone call to or stop by the Building Department. This should be one of your first priorities. After all, permits are required to ensure your safety by being in compliance with Building Codes.
Pool Season
Please remember pools are potential death traps- especially for little kids. Any pool that is 24 inches or more in depth (which includes but is not limited to: residential in-ground pools, above ground pools, inflatable pools, hot tubs, spas, and even fixed wading pools) requires a Building Permit and must comply with the New York Building and Town of Mamakating Codes.
Premises Identification
Please remember your approved address number (Your 911 number) must be placed in a position to be plainly legible and visible from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with the background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters. Numbers shall be a minimum of 4 inches high with a minimum stroke width of .5 inch. Traffic coming from either direction must be able to see your numbers. Please see the photos below for more verbiage and a photo example.
