The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Caledonia 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 now 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 Caledonia.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, the Village of Caledonia
shall cease to be an assessing unit.
The position of Assessor in the Village of Caledonia is hereby abolished.
The Board of Assessment Review in the Village of Caledonia is hereby
abolished.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, taxes in the Village
of Caledonia shall be levied on a copy of the applicable part of the assessment
roll of the Town of Caledonia with the taxable status date of such town controlling
for village purposes.
Within five days of the effective date of this chapter, the Board of
Trustees of the Village of Caledonia shall file a copy of such chapter with
the Clerk and Assessor of the Town of Caledonia 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.
