TITLE OF BILL:

An act in relation to authorizing Caritas of Port Chester Inc. to file
an application for a real property tax exemption

 
PURPOSE:

Caritas of Port Chester Inc. acquired real property at a time when it
was unable to meet the Village of Port Chester's taxable status deadline
for filing it exemption application. This bill, if enacted, would allow
for the organization to receive a retroactive real property tax
exemption on this newly acquired parcel upon the approval of the town
and village boards.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Authorizes the Village of Port Chester assessor to accept an
application for a retroactive real property tax exemption from the Cari-

tas of Port Chester Inc. for the 2020-2021 assessment roll.

Section 2 sets the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Caritas of Port Chester Inc. is community service organization that
provides a much needed food pantry and open closet in Port Chester that
operated out of a church. With the accusation of their own space, they
plan to expand the services they provide to the community. If not for
acquiring this real property when they were unable to submit a timely
exemption application deadline, this organization would otherwise be
entitled to a full real property tax exemption. This bill permits the
Village of Port Chester assessor to accept the organization's applica-
tion for exemption and provide a retroactive exemption back to the time
the not-for-profit acquired the property.

   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 Village of Port  Chester  is  hereby  authorized  to
 accept  from  Caritas  of Port Chester Inc. an application for exemption
 from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
 tax  law for the 2020-2021 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such
 organization located in the Town of Rye,  Village  of  Port  Chester  at
 509-511 North Main Street, otherwise known as Westchester county tax map
 section  136.64,  block 1, lot 34. If accepted, the application shall be
 reviewed as if it had been received on  or  before  the  taxable  status
 dates established for such roll.
   If  satisfied that such community service organization would otherwise
 be entitled to such exemption if such community service organization has
 acquired the subject property and filed an application for exemption  by
 the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
 Town Board of Rye, Village of Port Chester, may grant exemption from all
 taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject roll.  If  such
 exemption  is  granted and such community service organization 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  any  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
 interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
