Product Description                                                                                                                                 
The New York Municipal Formbook  is the premiere compendium of forms for anyone whose practice touches on municipal law.  For years, this has been the book that practitioners turn to for all the forms used in the broad range of issues that involve municipal law - agreements, property assessments, FOIL requests, bidding, employment, the environment, special districts and zoning.  If you work as a municipal attorney, this is the go-to guide for the forms used in developing local law; shared services and outsourcing agreements; utility contracts; easements and rights-of-way; highways and fire districts; and a host of other circumstances.

Municipal Formbook provides you with the appropriate document to address the varied regulations, ordinances, bylaws and decisions that govern New York's municipalities.

This is an essential resource not only for municipal officials, attorneys and clerks, but for all attorneys whose clients have any dealings with local government.  Many of the forms can be adapted for use in practice areas such as zoning and municipal litigation, municipal finance and real estate.  Even if you only use a few forms, the time saved will more than pay for the cost of the Municipal Formbook; and because some of these forms are unavailable form any other source, this book will pay for itself many times over.

New York Municipal Formbook was compiled by Herbert A. Kline, Esq., a renowned municipal attorney with more than 50 years' experience, and edited by his law partner, Nancy E. Kline, Esq.  The 2010 revision includes over 1,350 forms, 230 of which are new.
