The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Honeoye Falls
is to implement § 1402, Subdivision 3, of the Real Property Tax
Law providing for the voluntary termination of the village's status as
an assessing unit, as provided in the Village Law and the Real Property Tax
Law. It is also the intent of this chapter to abolish the position of Assessor
(or Board of Assessors) and to terminate any and all responsibility as provided
by law for the review of the assessments of real property located within the
Village of Honeoye Falls.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, the Village of Honeoye
Falls shall cease to be an assessing unit.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, taxes in the Village
of Honeoye Falls shall be levied on a copy of the applicable part of the assessment
roll of the Town of Mendon with the taxable status date of such town controlling
for village purposes.
Within five (5) days of the effective date of this chapter, the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Honeoye Falls shall file a copy of such chapter
with the Clerk and Assessor (or Board of Assessors) of the Town of Mendon
and with the State Board of Equalization and Assessment.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary
of State; provided, however, that such chapter is subject to a permissive
referendum and the Village Clerk shall forthwith proceed to notice such fact
and conduct such referendum if required by petition.
