exemption from all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of
the property by such incorporated town and make appropriate correction
to the subject roll. If exemption is granted and such incorporated town
therefor shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide
for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or
interest remaining unpaid.
