Bill > A06779

This bill provides a specific exemption for the Church of Jesus Christ (Apostolic), Inc., located at 332-340 South Columbus Avenue in Mount Vernon, New York, allowing the city's assessor to accept a late application for real property tax exemption for the 1996-1998 assessment rolls. The bill authorizes the assessor to review the church's application as if it had been submitted on time, provided that the church can demonstrate it acquired the property in March 1996 and would have been eligible for the tax exemption had it filed the application by the original deadline. If the application is approved by the city council, the church will be granted a tax exemption, and if it has already paid taxes on the property, the city may choose to provide a refund or cancel any remaining unpaid taxes. The legislation is designed to retroactively allow the church to claim a tax exemption that it missed filing for on time, offering relief from potential tax burdens.
