That depends on your address. Homes inside the Village of Liverpool deal with the village code department, and the rest of Salina deals with the town's Department of Planning and Development.
No. It helps you scope the job and connects you with a local masonry contractor, who does the work and sets the price.
Salina sits just north of the city of Syracuse and takes in the Village of Liverpool, which has its own code office and its own page here. The town's housing leans midcentury: the median year built is 1960, 68.7 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and 14.5 percent of the 16,016 housing units date from 1939 or earlier. Those figures include Liverpool, so village streets pull the older end up.
If your house is from that era, the jobs that fit include a stone face for a plain foundation or entry, a larger paver patio to replace a worn slab, a fire pit set in a seating wall, and a cleaning for brick that has stained over the decades.
The ground deserves a look before any of it. About 22.8 percent of the mapped town is poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained, and only 16.1 percent is well drained. Cut and fill land covers 11.0 percent, and open water 12.1 percent. Outside the village, the Town of Salina Department of Planning and Development administers the building code, so start there with any outdoor plan.

For the Town of Salina, the 2020-2024 ACS reports a 1960 median build year and 68.7 percent owner-occupied homes. Before 1940 came 14.5 percent of the 16,016 housing units, and 7.0 percent date from 2000 or later. Liverpool village is counted inside these figures.
Salina's Department of Planning and Development administers the building code for the town, and the Village of Liverpool, which sits inside the town, keeps its own code department. Frost depth for a footing is set by the local jurisdiction, so check with the department.
About 11.0 percent of the town's mapped area is cut and fill land, 8.0 percent is urban land and 12.1 percent is water, and 22.8 percent is in the poorly, somewhat poorly or very poorly drained classes, so the first question on a patio is how the subgrade was made and how it will be compacted to the standard of at least 98 percent of standard Proctor density.
