Bill > A04007

This bill authorizes the Congregation Khal Mevakshei Hashem, Inc. to receive retroactive property tax exemption for a specific property located at 137 Lawrence Avenue in the village of Lawrence, Nassau County. The bill allows the Nassau County assessor to accept and review a tax exemption application for the 2024 assessment roll and 2023-2024 school taxes as if it had been submitted on time, despite being late. If the assessor determines that the religious organization would have qualified for the exemption under section 420-a of the real property tax law had they filed on time, the assessor can grant the exemption after approval from the Nassau County legislature. If the exemption is granted and the organization has already paid taxes on the property, the governing body or tax department may refund those taxes and cancel any remaining unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, or tax liens. The act takes effect immediately, providing retroactive relief to the congregation for their property tax obligations.
