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 contra-
ry, the assessor of the town of Ramapo, is hereby authorized to accept
from the town of Ramapo, an application for exemption from real property
taxes pursuant to section 406 of the real property tax law for the 2010
assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such town, which is located in
the town of Ramapo at Torne Valley Road, otherwise known as: section
47.11, block 1, lot 2. 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 corporation: (i) acquired title to the property
for which it seeks exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to

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.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
