Bill > A05971

This bill amends a previous law from 2022 to allow the assessor of Smithtown in Suffolk County to accept a real property tax exemption application from the New Horizons Counseling Center, Inc. for the 2019 and 2020 assessment rolls. The amendment specifically modifies the description of the parcel's tax map lot number, changing it from a single lot (002.003) to include an additional lot (002.001). The bill enables the organization to apply for a tax exemption under section 420-a of the real property tax law for a property located at 1056 W. Jericho Turnpike. If the application is accepted, it will be reviewed as if it had been submitted on or before the taxable status date for those assessment rolls. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing the assessor to process the exemption application retroactively.
