BILL NUMBER: S6508

SPONSOR: COMRIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to authorize the assessor of the county of
Nassau to accept a retroactive application for exemption from real prop-
erty taxes from the First Reformed Church of Jamaica

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To authorize the First Reformed Church of Jamaica, a not for profit
organization, to file an application for a real property tax exemption
for all of 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school taxes, and all of
the 2016, 2017 and 2018 general taxes for the parcel that such church
took possession of on April 29, 2014.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one authorizes the Nassau County Assessor to accept an applica-
tion from the First Reformed Church of Jamaica for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to sections 420-a and 462 of the Real Property
Tax Law for all of 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school taxes, and

all of the2016, 2017 and 2018 general taxes for the parcel that such
church took possession of on April 29, 2014; located in the town of
Hempstead at 880 Ossipee Court, West Hempstead, otherwise known as:
section 35, block 650, lot 6.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The First Reformed Church of Jamaica is a not for profit which has
proudly served the queens/Long Island area for 315 years. While the
church is situated in Queens its parsonage is located in West Hempstead.
The parsonage has been granted a real property tax exemption for future
taxes, but requires legislation to have retroactive exemption status to
the date of purchase in 2014. This legislation is designed to provide
the county assessor with authorization to accept an application to make
such a real property tax exemption retroactive. Once accepted, the
application can then be reviewed as if it had been received on or before
the taxable status dates established for such tax rolls.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017-2018: 56808- Passed the Senate, delivered to Assembly/referred to
real property taxation.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None to the state.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.

 AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of  Nassau  to  accept  a
   retroactive  application  for  exemption from real property taxes from
   the First Reformed Church of Jamaica

   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 Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
 the  First  Reformed Church of Jamaica an application for exemption from
 real property taxes pursuant to sections 420-a and 462 of the real prop-
 erty tax law for all  the  2015-2016,  2016-2017  and  2017-2018  school
 taxes,  and  all of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 general taxes for the parcel
 that such church took possession of on April 29, 2014,  located  in  the
 town  of Hempstead at 880 Ossipee Court, West Hempstead, otherwise known
 as: section 35, block 650, lot 6. If accepted, such application shall be
 reviewed as if it had been received on  or  before  the  taxable  status
 dates  established  for  such  tax  rolls. If satisfied that such church
 would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such church  had  filed
 an  application  for  exemption by the appropriate taxable status dates,
 the assessor, upon approval of the Nassau county legislature, may  grant
 exemption  from  all  taxation  and  make appropriate corrections to the
 subject rolls.  If such exemption is granted and such  church  therefore
 shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing
 body  or  tax  department  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the
 refund of those taxes paid  and  cancel  any  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
 interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
