N.Y. Village Law § 17-1702: Effect of alteration of town boundaries

§ 17-1702 Effect of alteration of town boundaries. 1. The boundaries

of a village incorporated or which has annexed territory to embrace the

entire territory of a town, shall be deemed to embrace the entire

territory of such town as such territory may thereafter be extended,

diminished or altered pursuant to law. Whenever the territory of any

other village to which this article applies is extended, diminished or

altered pursuant to law, other than by consolidation, then the territory

of the town which is coterminous with such village shall be deemed to be

correspondingly extended, diminished or altered.

2. The real property excluded by law from the territory of a town

shall not be subject to further assessment or taxation for either

general or local purposes by a village embracing the entire territory of

such town, but taxes for the purposes of such village and local

assessments may be levied and collected against the real property

annexed by law to the territory of such town in the same manner and with

the same force and effect as taxes and local assessments are levied and

collected against other real property within the village. Taxes or local

assessments, if any, theretofore assessed against real property excluded

from such town shall be levied and collected in the same manner and with

the same force and effect as prior to such exclusion.

3. The extension, diminution or alteration of the boundaries or

territory of a town wholly embraced within the boundaries of a village

shall in no way affect or impair the boundaries or territory of a school

district nor shall the assessment, levy or collection of taxes for

school district purposes be affected or impaired thereby.

4. Such extension, diminution or alteration of the boundaries or

territory of a town shall in no way affect or impair the jurisdiction of

any court with respect to pending actions or proceedings, nor with

respect to the prosecution of crimes committed prior thereto, and all

courts shall have and retain jurisdiction of such actions, proceedings

and prosecutions as though such extension, diminution or alteration had

not been made.
