Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the town of Ramapo, is hereby authorized to accept from

33.15, block 1, lot 10. If accepted, such application shall be reviewed
as if it had been received on or before the applicable deadline for
filing such applications established for such roll.
If satisfied that such town: (i) acquired title to the property for
which it seeks exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such town had filed an application for exemption by the
applicable deadline for filing such applications, the assessor, upon
approval by the town board of the town of Ramapo, may grant exemption
from all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property
by such town and make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If
exemption is granted and such town therefore 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.
