Recent local laws — filings and amendments
These records come from Department of State filings and Village meeting documents. Each filing links to its original source and shows the effective-date rule we could establish. Chapter pages identify amendments incorporated into this site's derived text and any known changes still awaiting incorporation.
In effect — filed law
Local Law 7-2026
A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 197, STREETS & SIDEWALKS, OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON TO UPDATE THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO PRIOR NOTICE OF DEFECTS
Rewrites the prior-written-notice rule for street and sidewalk defects (§ 197-28). Before suing the village over an injury from a defective street, sidewalk, or similar hazard, someone must first have given the Village Clerk written notice of that specific defect — and under this law only paper notice counts: hand-delivered, sent by certified mail, or sent by overnight delivery service, with proof of delivery required. Reports made online, by email, or by phone do not constitute legal notice. Took effect on filing, July 14, 2026. — summary by croton.news
In effect — filed law
Local Law 8-2026
A LOCAL LAW TO ESTABLISH CHAPTER NINETY-NINE, ARTICLE II OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON, ENTITLED "CANNABIS MORATORIUM"
Establishes a six-month moratorium (new Code §§ 99-4 through 99-13, "Cannabis Moratorium") on village review and approval of land-use applications — site plans, subdivisions, special use permits, and variances — for cannabis dispensaries, defined as retail cannabis businesses licensed under New York State law; delivery-only businesses and on-site consumption lounges fall outside that definition. The Board of Trustees may end the moratorium early by resolution or extend it, and the pause is designed to give the village time to enact permanent cannabis land-use rules. Took effect on filing, July 14, 2026. — summary by croton.news
In effect — filed law
Local Law 9-2026
A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND CHAPTER 230, ZONING, OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON TO AMEND THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS
Rewrites the zoning code's affordable-housing standards (§ 230-48). It ties affordability to Westchester's area median income (AMI) as set annually by HUD: for-sale units are for households at or below 80% of AMI with total annual housing costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, common charges) capped at 33% of that income level, and rentals are for households at or below 60% of AMI with rent plus tenant-paid utilities capped at 30%. Units must be marketed under the village's occupational-preference list, which the law's findings say may favor income-qualified veterans, medical-industry employees, and emergency-service workers. Took effect on filing, July 14, 2026. — summary by croton.news
In effect — filed law
Local Law 10-2026
TO AMEND CHAPTER 204, TAXATION, OF THE VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON TO UPDATE THE LIMITS FOR THE SENIOR CITIZEN RENTAL INCOME EXEMPTION AND DISABLED PERSONS RENTAL INCOME EXEMPTION

Local Law 11-2026
TO AMEND CHAPTER 197, STREETS AND SIDEWALKS, OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON TO UPDATE THE LIST OF SIDEWALKS EXTEMPT FROM THE DUTY TO CLEAR OR MAKE SAFE

These were introduced and reached the stage shown, and then stop appearing in the meeting documents this site holds. We do not describe them as withdrawn, tabled or dead, because the record does not say so.

Status reflects the meeting documents this site has ingested and is shown at the furthest stage on record; a proposal may have advanced since. Where a status says adopted, that is taken from the Board's own adoption resolution — and the wording states plainly whether a matching filing with the Department of State has been found, because under Municipal Home Rule Law §27 a local law takes effect only on filing.
