The purpose and intent of this chapter is to ensure that the Town of
Cortlandt and any agency, board, department, commission or bureau thereof
receives full and timely payment of all fees, fines, assessments and charges
properly due the town.
No agency, board, department, commission or bureau of the Town of Cortlandt
shall grant any permit, license, approval, variance or certificate to any
individual, partnership, corporation or other entity where such individual,
partnership, corporation or other entity has failed to make full and timely
payment to the town of any fee, fine, assessment or other charge properly
due the town.
Before any permit, license, approval, variance or certificate is issued
to any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity, each applicable
agency, board, department, commission or bureau of the town shall confirm
that the applicant has made full and timely payment of all fees, fines, assessments
or other charges properly due the town. In such cases where delinquent fees,
fines, assessments or other charges are properly due the town, the payment
shall be made in cash or certified check only; checks subject to collection
shall not be acceptable.
This enactment shall take effect immediately and shall apply to both
new and pending matters before any agency, board, department, commission or
bureau of the town.
