[Adopted 6-11-2012 by L.L. No. 2-2012]
The Town Board of the Town of Wilna, pursuant to the authority
granted it under § 512 of the Real Property Tax Law and
§§ 10 and 20 of the Municipal Home Rule Law, hereby
enacts as follows.
The Town Board of the Town of Wilna has found that it is no
longer necessary to have a specially scheduled Grievance Day and that
the traditional Grievance Day in the Real Property Tax Law can be
rescheduled. To accommodate this, it is necessary to move Grievance
Day from the third Tuesday in May to the fourth Tuesday in May. It
is the purpose of this article to accomplish the same.
Commencing with May 2013, the day for presentment of complaints
to the Board of Assessment Review in the Town of Wilna and for hearings
on such complaints shall begin on the fourth Tuesday of May for that
year and each year thereafter in accordance with § 512 of
the Real Property Tax Law.
If any part of this chapter shall be found to be void, voidable,
or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, it shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any remaining section or provision of
this chapter.
