Walton Code Enforcement Officer
Mark Jacobs
waltonassessor@stny.rr.com
607.865.5281
The Code Enforcement Officer is at the Walton Town Hall during office hours and by appointment to review building permits, certificates of occupancy, and electrical inspections. The Code Enforcement Officer can also help you understand the planning and zoning laws in the Town of Walton.
If you are planning on building a new structure that is more than 144 square feet in size or adding onto an additional structure you need to file for a building permit.
At times, the Code Enforcement Officer cannot grant a building permit because the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals must review the plans. There is a process and paperwork that must be filed and the Code Enforcement Officer can also assist you with that process.
