Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-12
Repealer
Operative Text
This Local Law shall supersede all prior Local Laws, ordinances, rules and regulations which may be inconsistent with the provisions of this law.
Section 116-12 of Fort Plain's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 116, establishes that this local law takes precedence over any earlier local laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations that conflict with it. Where a prior rule says something different from what Chapter 116 requires, Chapter 116 controls. This is a standard repealer clause that resolves conflicts between the new law and older local enactments.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under the repealer clause at § 116-12, property owners and managers operating under Chapter 116 should recognize that older local rules or ordinances that contradict Chapter 116's requirements are no longer operative. Compliant operators generally review their practices against the current Chapter 116 text rather than relying on superseded prior rules. When questions arise about which local rule governs a particular situation, § 116-12 makes clear that Chapter 116 is the controlling authority.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 116-12 means that tenants can look to Chapter 116 as the governing local law, even if older Fort Plain ordinances or rules once said something different. If a landlord attempts to rely on a prior, inconsistent local rule, the repealer provision at § 116-12 establishes that Chapter 116 overrides it. Tenants who believe an older rule is being improperly applied may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Fort Plain's local code.
