[Adopted 5-13-1996 by L.L. No. 3-1996[1] (Ch. 117, Art. VI, of the 1981 Code)]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Article VI, Property Taxes, adopted 8-8-1994 by L.L. No. 2-1994.
A. 
For purposes of the enforcement of taxes which shall have become liens prior to June 1, 1996, and which are held by the Village, the provisions of Title 3 of Article 14 of the Real Property Tax Law shall continue in effect, for a transition period of four years commencing with the effective date of this article.
B. 
During such transition period, if a parcel is subject both to a lien or liens arising prior to June 1, 1996, and to a lien or liens arising thereafter, the procedures applicable to the enforcement of delinquent taxes shall depend upon the lien or liens upon which the enforcement proceeding is based; provided that if an installment agreement is executed pursuant to § 1184 of the Real Property Tax Law, the agreement shall apply to all outstanding liens held by the Village, no matter when arising.
C. 
After the conclusion of such transition period, if the enforcement of such prior lien or liens shall not have been concluded, as evidenced by the issuance of a tax deed, the amount due shall be relevied and enforced in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Real Property Tax Law.
For purposes of the enforcement of taxes which shall have become liens prior to June 1, 1996, and which are held by a party other than the Village, the provisions of Title 3 of Article 14 of the Real Property Tax Law shall continue in effect, as fully and to the same extent as if such laws had not been repealed or superseded.
This article shall take effect on June 1, 1996. Taxes becoming liens on and after that date shall be enforced pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 11 of the Real Property Tax Law.
