N.Y. Village Law § 2-252: Town and district services continued

§ 2-252 Town and district services continued. 1. a. Any town in which

any part of a newly incorporated village is located shall, from the date

of such incorporation until the first day of June following the first

day of January next succeeding such date of incorporation, continue to

perform and to render to and in such incorporated area all those

functions and services performed and rendered by it therein and

therefore on the date of the filing of the petition for incorporation

which function and services, except for the requirements of this

section, would otherwise have ceased to be required to be performed or

rendered therein upon such incorporation.

b. Any town improvement district and any fire district, fire protection

district or fire alarm district partially located in a newly

incorporated village and which upon the incorporation of such area would

by operation of law or could thereafter pursuant to law, cease to exist

in such village shall, nevertheless, from the date of such incorporation

until the first day of June following the first day of January next

succeeding such date of incorporation, continue to perform and to render

to and in such incorporated area all those functions and services

rendered by it therein and therefore on the date of the filing of the

petition for incorporation.

2. The cost and expense of so performing and so rendering said

functions and services shall be budgeted, levied upon, assessed against

and collected from the entire town or district, as the case may be, as

if such village had not been incorporated. In budgeting such cost and

expense such town or district shall provide for a full year's cost and

expense of providing such functions and services in the incorporated

area.

3. The collector or receiver of taxes of a town and the treasurer of a

county shall continue to perform their duties in respect to the property

included in such incorporated area until all taxes and assessments

extended and levied against such property prior to the village

incorporation or subsequent thereto, as provided in subdivision two of

this section, have been collected.

4. Such collector or receiver of taxes of a town and such treasurer of

a county shall, on the first day of June following the first day of

January next succeeding the date of incorporation, pay over to the

treasurer of the village seven-twelfths of the collected taxes and

assessments extended and levied against the real property in said area

for the functions and services referred to in subdivision one hereof.

Such collector or receiver of taxes of a town and such treasurer of a

county shall, commencing on the first day of July following the first

day of January next succeeding the date of incorporation, pay over to

the treasurer of village monthly, as collected after the first day of

June, seven-twelfths of the taxes and assessments extended and levied

against the real property in said area for the functions and services

referred to in subdivision one hereof. However, the village, town and

district or any of them may agree to a different amount or manner of

payment or both.

5. All sums received by the village treasurer pursuant to this section

shall be deposited in the general village fund.

6. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to cause or

require the abolition or diminution of such a town improvement district,

a fire district, a fire protection district, or a fire alarm district.
