united-states new-york-state jurisdiction
Does city municipal code apply to the towns that are part of it in New York?
<p>I was reading the <a href="https://ecode360.com/8679025" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Towing Municipal Code</a> for the City of Rochester (New York, USA) and was curious if the municipal code applied to my jurisdiction. Specifically I reside in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta,_New_York" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Town of Henrietta</a> and I'm curious if the above towing code applies here, but maybe you can answer in a more general sense? What I'm looking for is a Yes or No and a reference for that answer, thanks!</p>

<p>In New York State, towns are not &quot;part of&quot; cities; they are distinct political entities with their own separate borders, and they do not overlap or contain each other.  You can see on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_County,_New_York#/media/File:Monroe_County_(New_York)_-_Towns,_Villages,_and_City.svg" rel="noreferrer">this map</a> (Wikipedia but I couldn't find an official one that was as easy to read) that the Town of Henrietta and the City of Rochester are separate.  In fact, they do not even share a common border (the Town of Brighton is in between).</p>
<p>The laws and municipal code of the City of Rochester do not apply in the Town of Henrietta, nor vice versa.  Henrietta has its own <a href="https://ecode360.com/HE0056?needHash=true" rel="noreferrer">Town Code</a>, linked from its <a href="https://www.henrietta.org/" rel="noreferrer">official website</a>, but I could not find any regulations on towing vehicles from private property, nor in the <a href="https://www.ecode360.com/MO0860" rel="noreferrer">Code of Monroe County</a> in which the Town is located.  So I would assume that <a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/GBS/399-V" rel="noreferrer">New York State law</a> applies.</p>
