South Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-6
Conflict with state laws
Operative Text
Should any section or portion of this chapter be in conflict with the laws of the State of New York applicable to the operation, registration, ownership or control of unlicensed motor vehicles, then, in that instance, said laws of the State of New York shall prevail.
Section 107-6 of South Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 establishes a hierarchy between local and state law: if any part of Chapter 107 conflicts with New York State law governing the operation, registration, ownership, or control of unlicensed motor vehicles, the state law takes precedence. This is a standard legal supremacy clause ensuring that local rules do not override applicable state statutes. The provision does not create new rights or obligations on its own, but it shapes how the rest of the chapter is interpreted when a conflict arises.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-6 of South Glens Falls Code ch. 107, property owners and managers who deal with unlicensed motor vehicles on their premises should be aware that New York State law governs whenever it conflicts with local Chapter 107 rules. Compliant operators generally stay informed about both the local ordinance and any applicable state statutes on vehicle registration, ownership, and control. Consulting the relevant state statutes alongside the local code helps ensure that property management practices align with whichever authority takes precedence under this provision.

Section 107-6 of South Glens Falls Code ch. 107 means that tenants affected by local rules about unlicensed motor vehicles may have state-law protections that override conflicting local provisions. If a landlord or local authority attempts to enforce a Chapter 107 rule that appears to conflict with New York State law, tenants can raise that conflict as a potential defense or point of inquiry. Tenant-rights organizations or local legal aid offices can help identify whether a specific local rule is superseded by state law under this provision.
