Quick answers
Questions from Marcellus homeowners
Still unsure? Call (315) 640-3590 or send the short form.
Is Marcellus too old a town for new stone veneer?
No, but the wall behind the stone needs checking first. Older frame walls may need sheathing or a barrier layer before any lath goes on.
Who do I contact about a permit, the town or the village?
Whichever holds your address. The Town of Marcellus and the Village of Marcellus each have their own Code Enforcement Office.
Do these figures describe the town or the village?
The housing, owner and soil figures describe the Town of Marcellus. The Village of Marcellus lies within the town and keeps its own Code Enforcement Office.
Masonry in Marcellus
Nearly a third of the housing in the Town of Marcellus, 31.8 percent of 2,789 units, was built in 1939 or earlier. The median house dates to 1963. The Census Building Permits Survey shows the town authorized 14 new single-family housing units across 2022 to 2024, so most masonry work here is added to a house that already stands.
That matters for stone and brick. For an older house, an old frame wall and a 1960s block foundation need different questions before anything is fastened to them. Owners live in 78.4 percent of occupied homes.
The ground helps. Roughly 62 percent of the mapped soil is well drained, and only 10.6 percent is poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained. Honeoye silt loam alone covers about a quarter of the town. A paver base over soil like that follows the standard four inch minimum.
Permits depend on the address. The Town of Marcellus has a Code Enforcement Office, and the Village of Marcellus, which covers 0.6 square miles, has a separate one. Say which side of the line your house is on when you call.

The houses here
The 2020-2024 ACS gives the Town of Marcellus a 1963 median build year and 78.4 percent owner-occupied homes. Nearly a third of the 2,789 housing units, 31.8 percent, predate 1940, and 11.3 percent are from 2000 or later. The village is included.
Who signs off
Marcellus has a town Code Enforcement Office and a separate one in the village, so the right office depends on whether the address is inside the village line. Frost depth for a footing is a local setting, so ask which office applies before you price a footing.
The ground and the weather
About 61.9 percent of the mapped soil is well drained and only 10.6 percent is poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained, led by Honeoye silt loam, so the 4 inch minimum compacted base the paver specification gives for patios over well-drained soils is the starting point.
