[Adopted 11-28-2016 by L.L. No. 4-2016]
The electors of the Town of Chatham have authorized a tax levy
for the funding of an annual contribution to the operating budget
of the North Chatham Library; the Town Board hereby finds that it
is in the best interest of the taxpayers of the Town of Chatham to
be informed on their local real property tax bills of the amount which
is to be levied for such purpose.
This article is enacted pursuant to § 922 of the Real
Property Tax Law and § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law,
and it supersedes any provision of § 922 of the Real Property
Tax Law, to the extent that such section or provision does not authorize
the amount of tax to be contributed to the North Chatham Library to
be separately listed on property tax bills or statements.
A.
All real property tax bills or statements issued by or on behalf
of the Town of Chatham pursuant to § 922 of the New York
State Real Property Tax Law shall separately list the amount of the
tax levy authorized to be contributed to the North Chatham Library.
B.
The failure to separately list such amount in any such statement,
or the failure of the addressee to receive the same, shall not in
any way affect the validity of the taxes or interest prescribed by
law with respect thereto.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of
this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment shall not
affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined
in its operation of the clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section
or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered.
