Bill > A07986

This bill authorizes the Centerport Fire District to file a retroactive tax exemption application for the 2022-2023 assessment roll, specifically for a property located at 2 State Route 25A in the town of Huntington, Suffolk County. The bill allows the town assessor to accept and review the exemption application as if it had been submitted by the standard taxable status date, despite being late. If the assessor determines that the Centerport Fire District would have qualified for the tax exemption under section 464 of the real property tax law, the assessor can grant the exemption after approval from the town governing board. Furthermore, if the fire district has already paid taxes on this property, the governing body or tax department may refund those taxes and cancel any remaining unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, or tax liens at their discretion. The act takes effect immediately upon passage, providing a specific pathway for the Centerport Fire District to potentially obtain a tax exemption for this specific property.
