A demolition permit must be obtained from the Village of West
Carthage Zoning Enforcement Officer prior to the removal or demolition
of buildings, structures or parts thereof which, if newly built, would
require issuance of a building permit. An exemption from obtaining
a demolition permit may be granted, in writing, by the Zoning Enforcement
Officer for removal of, for example, small sheds, garages and other
outbuildings if such removal, in the opinion of the Zoning Enforcement
Officer, would pose no environmental threat nor safety concerns and
that these structures do not require disconnection from gas, electric,
water or sewer services and contain no asbestos.
