My property is near the Hudson River in Nyack. What extra rules apply?
Nyack has FEMA flood zone designations in lower-elevation areas near the river. Construction in flood zones requires compliance with the village's floodplain management law, including minimum floor elevations and flood-resistant construction methods. Contact the building department at 845-358-4249 or chiefbuildinginspector@nyack.gov before starting any project — they can confirm your flood zone status and applicable requirements.
I used to live in South Nyack. Does anything change for my building permits?
Yes. South Nyack village dissolved in 2022 and its territory merged into the Town of Orangetown. Former South Nyack residents now use the Orangetown Building Department (OBZPAE) at 845-359-8410, not the Village of Nyack.
