Editor’s Note: This local law also superseded former Art. X, Override of Real Property Tax Levy, adopted 11-18-2014 by L.L. No. 5-2016.
It is the intent of this article to override the limit on the amount of real property taxes that may be levied by the Town of Oyster Bay, County of Nassau, State of New York pursuant to General Municipal Law § 3-c, and to allow the Town of Oyster Bay to adopt a town budget for town purposes; fire protection districts; and any other special or improvement district governed by the town board for the fiscal year 2017 that requires 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 the Town Board to override the tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law approved by vote of 60% of the Town Board.
The Town Board of the Town of Oyster Bay is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the fiscal year 2017 that requires a real property tax levy in excess of the limit specified in General Municipal Law, § 3-c.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjusted by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, 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.
