Editor's Note: This proposed local law was adopted by the Board of
Trustees following public hearing on 8-19-2003. Paperwork was not signed or
filed with the Secretary of State, but as the law was properly noticed, it
was deemed passed by permissive referendum. It is ratified and readopted to
ensure proper local law filing procedures.
The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Norwood is to
implement § 1402(3) of the Real Property Tax Law providing for the
voluntary termination of the Village's status as an assessing unit, as provided
in the Village Law and Real Property Tax Law; it is also the intent of this
chapter to abolish the position of Assessor and to terminate any and all responsibility
as provided for by law for the review of the assessments of real property
located within the Village of Norwood.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, the Village of Norwood
shall cease to be an assessing unit.
The position of Assessor in the Village of Norwood is hereby abolished.
The Board of Assessment Review in the Village of Norwood is hereby abolished.
On or after the effective date of this chapter, taxes in the Village
of Norwood shall be levied on a copy of the applicable part of the assessment
roll of the Town of Potsdam and the applicable part of the assessment roll
of the Town of Norfolk, with the taxable status date of such Town controlling
for Village purposes.
Within five days of the effective date of this chapter, the Board of
Trustees of the Village of Norwood shall file a copy of such chapter with
the Clerk and Assessor of each of the Town of Potsdam and the Town of Norfolk
and with the State Board of Real Property Services.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary
of State; provided, however, that such chapter is subject to permissive referendum
and the Village Clerk shall forthwith proceed to notice such fact and conduct
such referendum if required by petition.
