Subdivision, Zoning, and Deeds
Although the Town of Roxbury does not have zoning laws, it does have subdivision regulations and recommendations for historic preservation projects. Some projects may require site plan review. Please refer to the Planning Board or the Roxbury Historic Preservation Commission page.
Refer to your deed to determine what, if any, restrictions may apply. Sample restrictions range from the size and style of dwelling to restrictions on farm animals.
Deed restrictions and their compliance are not reviewed or considered when issuing building permits and enforcement of deed restrictions are a civil matter.
To request a copy of your deed, visit the Delaware County Clerk’s Office.
Septic System Projects
Because of our location in the New York City Watershed, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires septic approval prior to subdivision or construction. A building permit will not be issued without DEP septic approval.
For new septic projects, contact the NYC DEP: (607) 363-7000
Septic replacement, upgrade, or other information, contact the Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC): (845) 586-1400 or visit the CWC online.
As indicated on the building permit application, applications for new house construction must include NYC DEP septic plan approval. If applying for an addition that will include a bedroom(s), written approval from DEP must be included approving use of the existing system.
