Quick answers
Questions from Cicero homeowners
Still unsure? Call (315) 640-3590 or send the short form.
Why is Cicero described as the wettest area?
Mapped soil data puts about 60 percent of the town in the poorly drained classes, against 6.3 percent well drained.
Do I need a permit to regrade for a patio?
The town's Zoning and Planning page says a permit is required to fill, excavate or alter the grade of land. Ask the office before any soil moves.
Does this site cover masonry repair work?
No. It covers new stone, pavers, outdoor fireplaces and cleaning. Repairs are a different trade.
Masonry in Cicero
Cicero is a home-owner town. About 81 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied and the median house dates to 1980. Only about 7 percent of the housing was built in 1939 or earlier, while 19 percent has gone up since 2000. If your house is one of the newer ones, a nicer front, a patio for the back or a fire feature for fall each raise their own questions about water.
The ground is the story. Nearly 60 percent of the town's mapped soil sits in the poorly drained classes, and only 6.3 percent is well drained. Niagara silt loam covers 28.9 percent and Carlisle muck another 11.9 percent. That makes Cicero the wettest of our thirteen areas, so every outdoor job here begins with a question about water.
Permits go through the Town of Cicero Zoning and Planning office. Its page says a permit is needed to install or replace a fireplace, woodstove or chimney, and to fill, excavate or alter the grade of land. Part of North Syracuse village lies in the town and has its own code department, so confirm which office covers your address.

The houses here
The Town of Cicero has newer housing stock. The 2020-2024 ACS gives a 1980 median build year and 80.6 percent owner-occupied homes, with 6.9 percent of 13,584 housing units from before 1940 and 19.1 percent from 2000 or later.
Who signs off
Cicero's Zoning and Planning office handles building permits. Its page says a permit is needed for a fireplace, woodstove or chimney, and to fill, excavate or alter the grade of land. Frost depth for a footing is a local setting, so ask that office.
The ground and the weather
About 59.6 percent of the town's mapped soil is poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained and only 6.3 percent is well drained, with Niagara silt loam at 28.9 percent and Carlisle muck at 11.9 percent, and the town annex lists 180 flood insurance policies and 153 claims paid. That is the highest share of poorly drained mapped soil among the thirteen areas.
