The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Phoenix 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 article
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
Phoenix.
On or after the effective date of this article,
the Village of Phoenix shall cease to be an assessing unit.
The Board of Assessment Review in the Village
of Phoenix is hereby abolished.
On or after the effective date of this article,
taxes in the Village of Phoenix shall be levied on a copy of the applicable
part of the assessment roll of the Town of Schroeppel, with the taxable
status date of such town controlling for village purposes.
[Amended 2-6-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999]
Within five days of the effective date of this
article, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Phoenix shall file
a copy of such article with the Clerk and Assessor of the Town of
Schroeppel and the State Board of Real Property Services.
This article shall take effect immediately upon
filing with the Secretary of State; provided, however, that such article
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.
