LOCAL LAW NO. 3 of 2007
A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Increasinl!: the Penalties in the Southold
Town Code".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of South old as follows:
Section I. Purpose. The Town Board has reviewed the penalties associated with violations
of the Southold Town Code and determined that insofar as the amounts of the fines have not
been updated in at least ten years, they do not reflect a fair and appropriate assessment against
those convicted of offenses and crimes under the Town Code. Therefore, the Town Board
believes it necessary to increase the amounts of the fines to discourage potential violators from
un-permitted and/or illegal activity and as a punitive response where warranted.
