Building decks in Croton-on-Hudson
Croton-on-Hudson is a village in the Town of Cortlandt at the mouth of the Croton River, with Croton Point Park reaching into the Hudson. More than half of the village's area is water. Mount Airy, long nicknamed Red Hill, rises above the Harmon section.
The village states plainly on its website that decks need a building permit, except for ordinary repairs that are not structural. Homes on Mount Airy and the other hillsides often have sloped backyards and river or valley views, which make raised decks and solid railings worth the planning.
