Bill > S07543

This bill authorizes the assessor of the Town of Islip in Suffolk County to accept a retroactive property tax exemption application from New Hour for Women and Children LI, Inc., a non-profit organization, for its property located at 248 Crooked Hill Road. The bill allows the organization to apply for a tax exemption under section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 assessment rolls, even though the application is being submitted after the typical filing deadline. If the assessor determines that the organization would have qualified for the exemption had it filed on time, and the Town of Islip town board approves, the property can be granted a full tax exemption. Furthermore, if the organization has already paid taxes on this property, the local governing body or tax department may refund those taxes and cancel any remaining tax liens, fines, or penalties at their discretion. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
