Bill > A04007

This bill authorizes the Congregation Khal Mevakshei Hashem, Inc., a religious organization, to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status for its property located at 137 Lawrence Avenue in Lawrence, Nassau County. This means that the assessor in Nassau County can accept an application for exemption from real property taxes, as outlined in section 430 of the real property tax law, for the 2024 assessment roll and all of the 2023-2024 school taxes, even though the application might be filed after the usual deadlines. If the assessor determines that the congregation would have qualified for this exemption had they applied on time, and the Nassau County Legislature approves, the congregation will be exempt from these taxes. Any taxes already paid by the congregation for these periods may be refunded, and any outstanding taxes, fines, or penalties can be canceled. The bill takes effect immediately.
