Otsego County, NY: Understanding Permit Requirements for Your Adirondack Corp. Outdoor Structure

Welcome, Otsego County residents! As a veteran-owned business established in 1991, Adirondack Corp., led by USMC veteran Jack Cola, is dedicated to providing durable and environmentally friendly outdoor furniture, firewood storage solutions and structural storage solutions for your property in Oneonta, Cooperstown, Morris, Richfield Springs, Milford, Schenevus, and surrounding Otsego County areas. While we expertly craft your desired firewood racks, sheds, chicken coops, or outdoor bars, it's crucial for homeowners to be aware of and comply with local building codes and zoning ordinances that apply specifically to Otsego County and its various towns and villages.

Before you invest in a new backyard bar or a spacious firewood shed or any other product with us, Adirondack Corp. strongly advises contacting your local Otsego County municipal building department or zoning office. This proactive step will help you determine if a permit is needed for your specific project, understand setback requirements, and ensure a smooth, legal installation process.
