Severability
Operative Text
Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this local law be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, the remainder of said local law shall not be affected thereby.
Section 228-14 of Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of the local law is found unconstitutional or legally invalid, the rest of the law continues in full force. The provision ensures that a successful legal challenge to one portion does not automatically invalidate the entire ordinance. This type of clause is common in legislation and reflects a legislative intent to preserve as much of the law as possible.
Plain English — not legal advice.

Staying informed about any court rulings affecting specific sections of ch. 228 helps property owners understand which obligations remain in effect.
