of all the Assessors duties. This article is authorized by § 512
of the Real Property Tax Law and is adopted pursuant to § 10(1)(ii)(d)(1)
of the Municipal Home Rule Law.

Board of Assessment Review meeting date. The Town Board of Assessment
Review shall meet to hear complaints in relation to real property
assessments on the first Thursday after the fourth Tuesday in May
and for so many days thereafter as the Board of Assessment Review
deems necessary.
C.
Severability. If any provision of this article is declared invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall not affect
or impair any other provision of this article and all other provisions
shall remain in full force and effect.
D.
Supersedence/repealer. This article is specifically intended to supersede
the provision of New York Real Property Tax Law § 512[1]
which provides that a board of assessment review shall meet to hear
complaints in relation to assessments beginning on the fourth Tuesday
of May and for so many days thereafter as the board deems necessary.
All other local laws or ordinances or parts of local laws or ordinances
in conflict with any part of this article are hereby repealed.
