If the property is NOT in the Village of Northport, then Town of Huntington zoning laws apply. You can find it online: http://town.huntington.ny.us/ click on "Town Code" and follow the prompts; then search for your subject

If the property is not in the Village of Northport, then, even though it may have a "Northport, NY 11768" mailing address, that property is not in Northport.

Places that have a "Northport, NY 11768" mailing address that are not in the Village of Northport are in the Hamlet of Eatons Neck, the Village of Asharoken, the Hamlet of Fort Salonga, the Hamlet of East Northport and the Hamlet of Centerport.


You can find out in which community (city, village or CDP) that house is actually located, which is oftentimes different from the community named in that house's mailing address, by using the Census Bureau's online address search function. (CDP, or Census Designated Place, is the Census Bureau equivalent for a hamlet in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.)

And, very importantly, among other things, the Census Bureau's online address search function also indicates in which school district an address is located.

i am town of huntington and the pool fence must be 4 ft all around-also i live on a corner property and there are rules about how far from curb fence can be-as far as putting the pool in, you might have to seek a variance-my husband just went to a town meeting and he said of all the people seeking variances for properties, those who came alone were refused and those with lawyers were passed-

"you might have to seek a variance-my husband just went to a town meeting and he said of all the people seeking variances for properties, those who came alone were refused and those with lawyers were passed"

FYI I recently went through variance process on my own ( no attorney) and was approved.

Glad2BHere, this should answer your questions:

per Huntington town code:
