Bill > S06428

This bill authorizes the Thiells-Roseville Fire District to file a late application for tax exemption for five specific properties located in the town of Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York. The bill allows the town assessor to accept an application for exemption from school taxes and real property taxes for the 2024-2025 assessment roll, even though the application would normally be considered late. The properties in question are located at 1 Angelus Drive and several addresses on West Ramapo Road. If the assessor determines that the fire district would have qualified for the exemption had they filed on time, the assessor can grant the exemption after approval from the town governing board. Additionally, if the fire district has already paid taxes on these properties, the governing body or tax department may refund the taxes paid, cancel any remaining taxes, fines, penalties, or tax liens. The bill is designed to provide retroactive tax relief for the Thiells-Roseville Fire District, allowing them to potentially avoid taxation on these specific properties.
