Bill > S00537

This bill authorizes the Nassau County assessor to accept a late application for a property tax exemption from Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, Inc., a religious organization, for a specific property located at 2000 Hillside Avenue in New Hyde Park. The bill allows the assessor to review and potentially approve the tax exemption application for the 2022 and 2023 assessment rolls, even though it was submitted after the standard filing deadline. The exemption would cover all 2023 general taxes and 2022-2023 school taxes for the property, which consists of tax map lots 607, 608, and 609. If the application is approved and the organization has already paid taxes, the county may refund those payments or cancel any remaining taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest. The bill takes into account the organization's federal tax-exempt status, as evidenced by an Internal Revenue Service letter dated September 19, 2022, and requires approval from the Nassau County legislature for the tax exemption to be granted.
