SECTION 17-1702
Effect of alteration of town boundaries
Village (VIL) CHAPTER 64, ARTICLE 17
§ 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.
