Bill > S06819

This bill authorizes the Nassau County assessor to retroactively accept a property tax exemption application from Chabad of West Hempstead for a specific property located at 545 Nassau Boulevard. The bill allows the assessor to consider the tax exemption application as if it had been submitted on time, covering various tax years including portions of the 2022-2023 and 2023 general taxes, all of the 2023-2024 and 2024 general taxes, and all of the restored 2024-2025 and 2025 general taxes. If the application is approved by the Nassau County legislature, the assessor can make corrections to the tax rolls. Furthermore, if the exemption is granted and Chabad has already paid taxes for the specified periods, the governing body or tax department may choose to refund those taxes or cancel any remaining unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest. The bill is designed to provide retroactive tax relief for this specific religious organization's property and takes effect immediately upon passage.
