South Nyack’s Village Court has Closed

On December 17th, 2020, the residents of the Village of South Nyack voted to dissolve their village and their 142-year-old government. This choice was met with overwhelming approval, with a vote of 508-292. The main factor behind the proposal was to alleviate the tax burden for South Nyack residents. The village government also had trouble keeping their services operational and their government employees paid. It was decided that dissolving the village was in the community’s best interest.

As of March 31st, 2022, the village of South Nyack is officially dissolved. It is now considered a Hamlet of Orangetown. With the closure of the village, the justice court closed as well. All matters that would otherwise be handled at the South Nyack Village Court are now adjudicated in the Orangetown Town Court. This means all traffic tickets will now go to the Orangetown court. This includes all open and pending cases. If you have a suspension from South Nyack, you have to go to Orangetown to clear the suspension. The closure of the village court follows an approximately twenty-year trend of village court closing.
