[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Montour Falls 8-18-2022 by L.L. No. 3-2022. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
Whenever, in connection with the enforcement of any provision
of the Code applicable to any specific parcel of real property, and/or
in connection with any remedial or abatement action authorized by
the Code or other applicable law, the Village shall incur any cost
or expense attributable to such enforcement, remediation or abatement
action, the amount of such cost or expense shall be assessed against
the affected property as herein provided.
Upon completion of any such enforcement, remediation or abatement
action, the cost or expense thereof to the Village shall be fixed
and determined by the Zoning Officer and thereafter transmitted to
the Village Board of Trustees. Upon receipt of such transmittal, the
Board of Trustees may by resolution confirm the amount of such cost
or expense, whereupon the amount of such cost or expense shall constitute
a special assessment against the affected property.
The special assessment described in § 52-2 above shall be paid, shall accrue interest, and shall be included within the annual tax levy pursuant to New York State Village Law and Real Property Tax Law and shall otherwise be considered a special assessment for purposes of all general and local laws.
The Village may assess costs pursuant to this chapter in addition
to, and cumulatively with, the exercise of any other enforcement mechanisms
provided by the Code or otherwise.
