Questions
Before you call about a slab in Camillus
- 1
Which office handles a driveway permit in Camillus?
It depends on the road. The town's checklist takes a county DOT permit, a Town Highway permit or a state DOT permit. Ask which road you are on, then ask the Code Enforcement Office to confirm.
- 2
Are Fairmount and Westvale handled differently from the rest of Camillus?
They are part of the town, so the same road-owner question applies. What differs is the age of the housing, which tends to be mid-century. Ask the contractor to look at your slab, not at your neighborhood.
- 3
Is my Camillus village address treated like the town?
Not necessarily. The village has its own streets, and the town's checklist is a town document. Ask the village office what applies to your frontage.

Camillus covers a lot of ground, and the road in front of your house decides who signs off on the apron. The Town of Camillus carries 99.8 miles of town road, 46.8 miles of county road and 14.2 miles of state road. Most of the pavement is the town's, but a slice of it belongs to Onondaga County and a smaller slice to New York State. Each owner has its own desk for a driveway permit.
Book the introduction first.
The town's building checklist spells that out. It accepts a county DOT driveway permit signed by the Code Enforcement Officer, a Town Highway permit approved by the Highway Superintendent, or a state DOT permit. So before anyone pours your apron, find out whose road you are on and which of the three applies. Your contractor can usually tell you, but ask for the answer in writing.
Ask who decides before you book.
Within the town, the village of Camillus keeps its own streets: 4.1 miles of village street, 0.6 miles of county road and 0.8 miles of state road. If your address is in the village, check with the village before assuming the town's checklist covers you. A mistake about the road owner is the costliest one to make before a pour.
Postwar housing, and what it does to a slab
The Town of Camillus has a median home built in 1966, and 69.1 percent of its housing went up before 1980. Inside the village the median is 1958. Fairmount and Westvale are census designated places in the town, with medians of 1961 and 1956. Garage floors, steps and drives from that era have been through decades of Syracuse winters, so many of them are due a hard look.
Send us the slab details.
Owners live in 79.4 percent of the town's occupied homes. If you rent your place, ask your landlord to send the questions below to the contractor.
Winter is the same everywhere in the county. Onondaga County says it averages 122 inches of snow a year, and de-icing salt comes with it. Ask any contractor for air-entrained concrete, a pour month that suits the cold-weather rules and protection through the first winter, all on the quote. Skip de-icers on new concrete that first winter and use clean sand.
