The Building Department provides many necessary services to property owners in the Town of Putnam Valley, including records retention, code enforcement, fire and safety inspections, and permitting.

The code enforcement officers follow New York State building codes, along with the Town of Putnam Valley’s zoning ordinances, in reviewing plans, performing inspections, and carrying out daily operations. The department may issue violations to those found to be out of compliance with such codes and regulations.

Starting January 1, 2026, all designed professional plans must comply with the 2025 New York State codes.
