Section 17-1702. Effect of alteration of town boundaries  


Latest version.
  • l. The boundaries
      of a village incorporated 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.
