From The Lyme Building & Codes  Office
 
 As a reminder to all our residents and contractors, a Zoning and Building Permit is required for most
types of construction and change of property use projects.  Some examples are: Some types of remodeling, New construction, Roof replacement, Fence construction, Heating equipment installation, Wood burning stoves, Wind and Solar Generation Systems, and Demolition.  Please check with our office regarding your project for further information.  As your Zoning and Building Code Enforcement Officer, I am always available to assist our residents and contractors in assuring that your building projects are safe, successful, and code compliant.  When you “Build to Code” your project will be safe, and have lasting value.  Our regular hours are: Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons. 12-4. My office phone number is (315) 649-2788.  My cell phone number is: (315) 777-6115.  I look forward to serving our residents and contractors in this place we call “Paradise”, The Town of Lyme.  

Jim Millington, ZEO/CEO

Why Do Some Homeowners Seem   To   "Get   Away"    With   Zoning Violations   While   Others Don't?
                                                                                                                             
 (from the  Town Zoning Law)

"Whenever a Town Official or aggrieved resident complains of a zoning violation or the Zoning Enforcement Officer notices a violation, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall conduct an inspection. If an apparent violation exists, as determined by the Zoning Enforcement Officer, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall issue a Stop Work Order and Notice to Correct Violation, which shall inform the landowner of the nature of the violation and require that the landowner comply with this law within fourteen (14) days".    The Zoning   Officer   does   NOT   drive around   looking to   find   zoning   violations.     If you   see   a   zoning   violation,   please   contact   the   ZEO.     Before   calling,     please   review   our   zoning   laws   posted   on this website   to   make sure   your   neighbor   or a resident is actually   in violation.
