AN ACT in relation to authorizing Turkish Cultural Center to file an
application for exemption from real property taxes for certain assess-
ment rolls
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 town of Islip, county of Suffolk, is hereby author-
ized to accept from the Turkish Cultural Center, a not-for-profit corpo-
ration, an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant
to section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to the 2016-
-2017 and 2017--2018 assessment rolls, for the parcel owned by such
not-for-profit corporation which is located at 701-1 Koehler Ave, in the
hamlet of Ronkonkoma, town of Islip, county of Suffolk, otherwise known
as Suffolk county tax map district 0500, section 127.00, block 04.00,
lot 001.000. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
been received on or before the taxable status date established for such
assessment rolls.
If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval of the
town of Islip town board, may grant exemption from taxation on such
assessment rolls and make the appropriate corrections of the subject
rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore, shall
have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable
governing body or tax departments, in their sole discretion, shall
provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penal-
ties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
