N.Y. General Municipal Law § 714: Annexation after election approving proposition

§ 714. Annexation after election approving proposition. 1. Upon the

filing of the certificate or certificates of election approving the

proposition together with the notice of entry of a final judgment of a

court or of the approving orders of the governing boards of the affected

local governments, the governing board or boards of the local government

or governments to which such territory is to be annexed shall forthwith

by local law, and without any hearing thereon, annex to such local

government the territory described in the petition. In the case of a

municipality consisting of wards, councilmanic districts or other

subdivisions from which representation on any elective board or body is

selected, such local law shall designate the wards, councilmanic

districts or other such subdivisions within which the territory so

annexed shall be included, which local law shall be adopted without

referendum notwithstanding any inconsistent general, special or local

law.

2. A local law annexing territory to a local government pursuant to

this section shall specify the date on which such annexation shall

become effective, giving due regard to the taxable status dates of all

the local governments to which and from which such territory is so

annexed and to the fiscal years of such local governments for which

taxes, special ad valorem levies or special assessments are imposed.

Such date shall be no earlier than the date of filing such local law in

the office of the secretary of state.
