Subdivision, Zoning, and Deeds

The Town of Middletown has zoning laws and subdivision regulations. Some projects may require site plan review. See the Planning Board page for more information.

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.
