AN ACT in relation to authorizing the city of Olean assessor to accept
an application for a real property tax exemption from OWH Properties,
Inc. (Operation Warm Hearts)
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 city of Olean is hereby authorized to accept from
OWH Properties, Inc. (Operation Warm Hearts) an application for
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
property tax law with respect to the 2025-2026 assessment roll for all
of the 2025-2026 school taxes and all of the 2025 general taxes for the
parcels conveyed to such organization located at 908 North 4th Street,
city of Olean, county of Cattaraugus, and 920 North 4th Street, city of
Olean, county of Cattaraugus, otherwise known as Cattaraugus county
parcel ID map section 94.049 block 1 parcel 70 and section 94.049 block
1 parcel 73. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
been received on or before the taxable status date established for such
roll.
If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
approval by the city of Olean legislature, may make appropriate
correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such
organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
subject roll, 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.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
