Local Law Intro 15 of 2025
When the Village had General Code conduct its review of the Village Code, Chapter 50 was identified
as one of the chapters needing to be updated. It allowed various Village officers to reside anywhere
in the State of New York, which exceeds the authority granted to municipalities by state law.
Generally, public officers of the Village must reside within the Village boundaries per state law.
However, state law grants the Village Board of Trustees the ability to extend residency to anywhere
in the county in which the village is situated.
Currently, all but one of the Village officers covered by the residency requirements live in Westchester
County. The one exception (Assistant Village Engineer) has been granted an exemption; the governor
signed legislation to this effect on September 10, 2025.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
