Effective date
Operative Text
This chapter shall take effect 10 days after posting and publication thereof, and immediately as against any person who is personally served with a certified copy thereof in accordance with the Town Law of the State of New York.
Section 107-15 of Halfmoon's Code of Ordinances Chapter 107 establishes two timelines for when the chapter's rules become legally operative. For the general public, the chapter takes effect 10 days after it has been posted and published. For any individual who is personally served with a certified copy in accordance with New York State Town Law, the chapter takes effect immediately upon that service.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-15 of Chapter 107, property owners and managers should be aware that the chapter's requirements generally become enforceable 10 days after posting and publication. However, if a landlord or property manager is personally served with a certified copy of the chapter pursuant to New York Town Law, compliance obligations begin immediately at the moment of service. Operators who track local publication notices can use the 10-day window to review their practices before the chapter's rules take full effect for the general public.

Tenants who want to understand when specific protections in this chapter apply to their situation may consult a local tenant-rights organization or the Town of Halfmoon directly for information about the chapter's publication date. Knowing the effective date can be relevant when evaluating whether a particular rule was in force at a given time.
