Editor’s Note: This local law also superseded former
Art. IX, Tax Levy Excess Authority, adopted 12-6-2022 by L.L. No. 7-2022.
It is the intent of this article to allow the Village of Lindenhurst

may require a real property tax levy in excess of the "tax levy limit"
as defined by General Municipal Law § 3-c.
This article is adopted pursuant to Subdivision 5 of General
Municipal Law § 3-c, which expressly authorizes a local
government's governing body to override the property tax cap for the
coming fiscal year by the adoption of a local law approved by a vote
of 60% of said governing body.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Lindenhurst, County
of Suffolk, is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the fiscal
year commencing March 1, 2024, that requires a real property tax levy
in excess of the amount otherwise prescribed in General Municipal
Law § 3-c.

subdivision, or part of this article or the application thereof to

the remainder of this article, but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article
or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation
or circumstance, directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment or order shall be rendered.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with
