Does my property have to be in a designated receiving district to receive density flow rights?
No. Provided that the receiving parcel complies with the land use and dimensional requirements of the Town’s Zoning ordinance, rights can be transferred to any property in the Town that:
• Is not in a sending district
• Is not required by the Town, County, State, or Federal government to be left as a natural buffer or open space
• Is not listed on the Smithtown Historic Sites Inventory, unless the historic resource is preserved
• Has access to a public water supply without extending a water main
