Introduced by M. of A. AMEDORE -- read once and referred to the Commit-
tee on Real Property Taxation
AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the city of Schenectady to accept an
application for a real property tax exemption for certain property in
the city of Schenectady, county of Schenectady
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 the Excelsior Development Partners LLC an application for exemption
from real property taxes pursuant to section 444-a of the real property
tax law, for the parcel known as the former Woodlawn School located at
103 Kings Road, city of Schenectady, county of Schenectady, otherwise
known as Schenectady county tax map section 60.38, block 2, lot 1.21. If
accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
on or before the taxable status date established for such rolls and the
alterations or rehabilitation of such property had been completed subse-
quent to the effective date of any local law or resolution authorizing
such exemption.
If satisfied that such entity would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such entity had filed an application for exemption by the
appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the city
of Schenectady, may make appropriate correction to the applicable rolls.
If such exemption is granted and such entity, therefore, shall have paid
any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable governing body
or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
those taxes paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or
interest remaining unpaid.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
