Bill > A06167

This bill authorizes the Nassau County assessor to accept a retroactive property tax exemption application from Ministerio Sion New York, Inc. (also known as Zion International Ministry New York, Inc.) for a property located at 97 New Hyde Park Road in Franklin Square. Specifically, the bill allows the organization to apply for a tax exemption for the 2022-2023 school year and 2023 general taxes, even though they missed the original filing deadline. If the assessor determines that the organization would have qualified for the exemption had they applied on time, and if the Nassau County legislature approves, the assessor can grant the exemption. If the organization has already paid taxes on this property, the governing body may choose to refund those taxes or cancel any remaining unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, or liens. The bill provides a special one-time exception to standard tax exemption application deadlines, giving the organization an opportunity to retroactively secure a property tax exemption that they may have been eligible for but failed to apply for in a timely manner.
