The Village would like to remind residents of the leash law for dogs. No dogs are allowed to run at large within village limits. See local law #28 under ordinances on this website for full details.
The Village clerk's office now offers the convenience of accepting credit cards for municipal payments. A third-party convenience fee will apply to cardholders who wish to pay via credit card. Such fee will be disclosed to cardholder at time of transaction with the option to decline the fee and make payments via cash or check. This fee will be 2.45% ($1.50 minimum). A flat fee of $3.95 applies to all tax payments made using a Visa Consumer Check Card. Visa is not accepted for water/sewer payments.
No Parking on Village Streets 2am - 6am
Residents of the Village of Adams are reminded that there is no parking on all village streets between the hours of 2am - 6am. Tickets will be issued to violators. This will be strictly enforced when snowplowing is necessary on all streets.

It is the duty of the property owner, tenant, or occupant or other person in charge of any property fronting on any public street or alley to remove all snow and ice from sidewalks and driveway crossings by 9:00 a.m. following the time of deposit. It shall be unlawful for any person to use or cause to be used a public street or any sidewalk for deposit, piling or placement of plowed or shoveled snow and/or ice. It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit, pile or place, or cause to be deposited, piled or placed on any corner lot, plowed or shoveled snow piles such that the piled interfere with the visibility of vehicular traffic at such corners.

The Village of Adams now has 4 Pet Waste stations. They are located downtown next to the Memorial Park/Bridge, in front of Family Dollar, next to Dr. Ferry's parking lot and in front of 42 N. Park St. We urge all dog walkers to use the bags, provided at each station, when needed and dispose of the waste properly. A very big thank you to the Adams Revitalization Committee, the Village of Adams and Diane Ferry, DVM.

Welcome!
The Village
of Adams is located in Northern New York about 50 miles north of
Syracuse and 50 miles south of the Canadian border along the
I-81 corridor. The Village was incorporated on December 23,
1857, 150 years ago. The village is the birthplace of J.
Sterling Morton who was the founder of Arbor Day. We therefore
call ourselves the Arbor Day Village.
The Village
owns and operates our own water and wastewater treatment
plants. Water is delivered to customers inside and outside the
village and we also contract with the Adams Center Water
District owned by the Town of Adams for their customer’s
consumption of water.
We provide
services through part-time police protection and a satellite
office for the New York State Troopers is provided by the
Village in our old municipal building.
The Village
fire department has a roster of 60 volunteer members who
actively provide protection to our residents and to the
surrounding areas with mutual aid.
There are
several different zoning districts which include residential,
general commercial, industrial and a wellhead protection
overlay.
The downtown
area has been designated as a historic district by the State and
National Registry. Please check out the history link on this
website for additional history information about Adams and
surrounding areas.
