Village of Pomona, NY Property Owner Registration

There are many occasions that require Village officials to communicate with the owner of real property situated within the Village. These occasions may be the result of emergencies or situations requiring the enforcement of New York State laws or local laws of the Village of Pomona. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Pomona finds that a registration of the name and address of the actual owner of real property or a person authorized to act for such owner situated in the Village is necessary to accomplish this purpose.

§ 104-2 Registration requirements.

All owners of real property situated within the Village of Pomona shall, within 60 days after the effective date of this chapter, file the following information with the Village Clerk/Treasurer on forms to be provided by the Village:

[Amended 3-27-2017 by L.L. No. 2-2017]

(1)

The name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, if available, of the actual owner of the real property;

(2)

If the owner of the real property is a partnership, trust or LLC, the names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, if available, of all principals of said partnership, trust or LLC;

(3)

If the owner of the real property is a corporation, the names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, if available, of all persons owning 10% or more of said corporation;

(4)

In the event the owner of said real property does not reside or have a place of business within Rockland County, the owner shall designate, on said form, the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, if available, of an individual designated and authorized to act on behalf of the owner in matters concerning the management and operation of the property of the owner.

The individual designated to act on behalf of the owner pursuant to Subsection A above shall reside in Rockland County. This individual shall, by having been so designated, be authorized to accept service of notices and legal process on behalf of the owner.

The initial filing as set forth in Subsection A above shall be made on or before July 1, 2016. Thereafter, all owners of real property are required to file new designations with the Village Clerk each time a different person is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

In the event of any change in ownership of any real property situated within the Village of Pomona the new owner shall file a new ownership registration form and, if appropriate, a new designation, within 20 days after such change in ownership.

§ 104-3 Penalties for offenses.

Any owner of real property who or which willfully shall fail to file an ownership registration form with the Village Clerk at the times herein required shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine not to exceed $100.

Any owner of real property who or which is required by the provisions of § 104-2A hereinabove to file a designation of an individual authorized to act on behalf of such owner and who or which shall fail to file such designation with the Village Clerk shall, upon conviction, be punished as follows:

For a first conviction thereof, a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500.
