Orangeburg was farmland and the site of Camp Shanks until the late 1940s, and most of it was built in the two decades after: ranches, splits and colonials on the grid between Route 303, Western Highway and the Palisades Parkway, with later development toward Blauvelt and the office parks. The houses are remarkably consistent, and so are their chimneys: one brick stack, two clay-tile flues, one for the fireplace and one for an oil furnace or boiler that has since, in most cases, been swapped for gas.
That makes the Orangeburg chimney checklist short and predictable. Has the heating flue been relined since the gas conversion? Is the crown cracked (they usually are, 60 years on)? Is there a cap? Is the flashing original? A Level 2 camera inspection answers the first question, and a look from the roof answers the rest. Orangetown also inspects heating equipment changes, so a liner installed with a new boiler should have a permit on file; if it does not, that is worth knowing before you sell.
Orangeburg is the seat of the Town of Orangetown; its building department is on Orangeburg Road. Every contractor needs the Rockland County home improvement license.

Orangeburg questions
How much is a chimney liner in Orangeburg?
HomeGuide's 2026 installed range is $900 to $3,800; a typical two-story Orangeburg ranch or split with a 20- to 25-foot flue venting a gas boiler usually lands at $2,000 to $4,000 locally for an insulated stainless liner.
Do I need a sweep if I never use the fireplace?
An inspection, yes, every year or two: the flue still collects water, leaves and animals, and the damper can rust open and pull heated air out of the house all winter. A cap and a top-sealing damper are cheap fixes.
Where do permits go?
Town of Orangetown Building Department, Orangeburg, for relining and rebuilds.
