Bill > A00046

This bill authorizes the Bedford Hills Fire District to file a late application for tax exemption for the 2022-2023 assessment year for a specific property located at 332 Bedford Road in Westchester County. Normally, tax exemption applications must be filed by a specific taxable status date, but this bill allows the town of Bedford assessor to accept and review the application as if it were submitted on time. If the assessor determines that the fire district would have qualified for the exemption under section 464 of the real property tax law, they can grant the exemption after approval from the town's governing board. If the exemption is approved and the fire district has already paid taxes on the property, the local governing body or tax department may refund those taxes, along with any fines or penalties, and cancel any remaining unpaid taxes or liens. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing a retroactive opportunity for the fire district to obtain a tax exemption for the specified property.
