Bill > S08162

This bill allows the assessor of the town of Ramapo in Rockland County to accept a late application for a real property tax exemption from Lev Teen Center for the 2022-2023 assessment rolls. Specifically, the bill permits the exemption application for a property located at 161 Viola Road in the village of Suffern, which would normally be ineligible due to missing the standard filing deadline. If the assessor determines that Lev Teen Center would have qualified for the exemption had they filed on time, the assessor can, with approval from the Ramapo town board, correct the tax roll. Additionally, if the exemption is granted and Lev Teen Center has already paid taxes on the property, the governing body or tax department may choose to refund those paid taxes or cancel any remaining taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest. The bill provides a one-time exception to standard tax exemption filing procedures, offering relief to the Lev Teen Center organization. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
