AN ACT in relation to permitting the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran
Church to file an application for a real property tax exemption
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
sor of the city of Mount Vernon is hereby authorized to accept from the
Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church an application for exemption from
real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
law for the 2009 city assessment roll and the 2010-2011 school assess-
ment roll, for the parcel located at 17 East Grand Street in the city of
Mount Vernon. If accepted, the applications shall be reviewed as if they
had been received on or before the taxable status date established for
such rolls. If satisfied that the Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church
(i) acquired title to the property for which it seeks exemption in March
2009 and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such
corporation filed an application for the exemption on or before the
appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor, upon approval by the
city council of the city of Mount Vernon may grant exemption from taxa-
tion 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 and cancel
taxes remaining unpaid.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
