BILL NUMBER: S7372
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to authorize New Creation in Christ Ministries to file an
application for real property tax exemption
PURPOSE :
This bill permits the City of Schenectady to accept a late application
for a certain real property tax exemption for the 2009 assessment
roll, and, if found eligible, to grant the exemption and refund any
excess property taxes paid by the tax-exempt organization.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill permits the Schenectady City Assessor to accept and evaluate
an application for tax exemptions for the 2009 assessment roll even
though the deadline for these applications has passed, and, if the
Assessor finds that the entity and property are indeed tax exempt,
permits the City to grant the exemption and refund any excess property
taxes already paid.
EXISTING LAW :
Under current law, there is no authority for the Assessor to accept
and evaluate late applications. The owner of a property would be
exempt pursuant to section 420-a of the Real Property Tax law or
article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.

AN ACT to authorize New Creation in Christ Ministries to file an appli-
cation for real property tax exemption
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the city of Schenectady is hereby authorized to accept
from New Creation in Christ Ministries, Inc. an application for
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
property tax law for the 2009 assessment rolls for the parcel owned by
such not-for-profit organization which is located in the city of Sche-
nectady, county of Schenectady at 1073 Howard Street, otherwise known as
section 49.55, block 5, lot 30. If accepted, such application shall be
reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
established for such rolls.
If satisfied that New Creation in Christ Ministries, Inc. would
otherwise be entitled to such exemption if it had filed an application
for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor of
the city of Schenectady may upon approval by the city council of such
city, grant exemption from taxation based on the 2009 assessment rolls
and owing by such not-for-profit organization on the effective date of
this act, and make appropriate correction of the subject rolls. If such
exemptions are granted and if such not-for-profit organization shall
have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body
or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
such taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining
unpaid.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
