About Sloatsburg
Sloatsburg operates under New York State's Village Law, General Municipal Law, Local Finance Law, as well as Municipal Home Rule Law and the Statute of Local Governments, which grants home rule power. Except for certain required village functions, the government operates as a village pursuant to Village Law.
The Village is governed by a Mayor and Board of Trustees. The Mayor makes all appointments which are ratified by the Board. The Clerk / Treasurer is appointed by the Mayor and supervises all Village operations through appointed department heads. Since the Village of Sloatsburg has been incorporated as a Village, the same officers govern both. This dual functioning avoids duplication of government services and costs.
Comprising of approximately 2.5 square miles, the Village is primarily residential, consisting almost exclusively of single-family, detached homes. Zoning became effective in the mid-fifties with the adoption of the Village’s Master Plan and zoning ordinance.
Sloatsburg is bounded on the east by the Harriman State Park, on the west by the New Jersey State Park, to the south by the State of New Jersey and north to the finger lakes region.
The Village is within the districts of:
17th Congressional
38th State Senatorial
98th State Assembly
Rockland County District 1 Legislator
Comprehensive Plan
In 2007, the Village adopted the current Comprehensive Plan prepared and proposed by a resident committee and Robert Geneslaw Co., Planning and Development Consultants.
