Introduced by M. of A. RAMOS -- read once and referred to the Committee
on Real Property Taxation
AN ACT to authorize True Vine Holiness Church of God to retroactively
apply for a real property tax exemption for certain property in the
town of Islip, county of Suffolk
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 county of Suffolk is hereby authorized to accept
from True Vine Holiness Church of God, an application for exemption from
real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
law for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 assessment roll for the parcel owned by
such not-for-profit entity which is located at 30 Mindres Avenue, in the
town of Islip, county of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk county
section 115, block 2, lot 41. If accepted, the application shall be
reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
established for such rolls.
If satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
assessor, upon approval by the Suffolk county legislature, may make
appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is grant-
ed and such organization, 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.
