AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Babylon to
accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from the
Phoenix Houses of Long Island, Inc.
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 Babylon, county of Suffolk, is hereby
authorized to accept from Phoenix Houses of Long Island, Inc., a not-
for-profit corporation, an application for exemption from real property
taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law with
respect to the 2019 assessment rolls for the parcel owned by such organ-
ization located in the town of Babylon, located at 20 Washington Avenue
in Deer Park, also known as district 0100, section 090.00, block 02.00,
lot 086.000. 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 Babylon 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.
