[Added 6-15-2010 by L.L. No. 28-2010, effective 1-1-2011]
A.
Property tax revenue shall be limited to the extent it increases
the property tax rate in the subsequent year.
B.
Property tax rates shall not increase in the subsequent year by more
than 4% of the property tax rate.
C.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the Town
Board shall not increase property taxes from the previous year in
any amount that would increase the total property tax rate by more
than 4% over the previous year for Town budget purposes, including
Town-Wide General Fund and Part Town General Fund, except for special
and improvement district expenditures, including but not limited to
water, streetlight, sewer, park, fire protection, ambulance, special
road improvements and other similar special and improvement district
purposes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 65-33, the Town Board may provide for an increase in the property tax rate in excess of the 4% limitation by an affirmative vote of a supermajority, two-thirds, of the Town Board.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this article
shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
such judgment shall not impair or invalidate the remainder hereof,
but such adjudication shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph or section directly involved in the controversy
in which judgment shall have been rendered.
It is the Town Board's express intent and purpose, pursuant
to § 10(1)(ii)(d)(3) of the Municipal Home Rule Law, and
§ 10 of the Statute of Local Governments, to supersede New
York State Town Law § 63, to the extent necessary, by requiring
an affirmative vote of a supermajority, two-thirds, of the Town Board
as provided under this article.
