Bill > A08565

This bill authorizes the assessor of the town of Ramapo in Rockland County to accept a late application for a property tax exemption from Lev Teen Center for its property located at 161 Viola Road in Suffern. Specifically, 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 assessment rolls, covering both school and general taxes, even though the application is being submitted after the standard filing deadline. If the assessor, upon review and with approval from the town board, determines that Lev Teen Center would have been eligible for the exemption had it filed on time, the assessor can correct the tax roll accordingly. Furthermore, if the exemption is granted and Lev Teen Center has already paid taxes, the governing body may refund those taxes or cancel any remaining unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest. The bill takes effect immediately, providing a specific remedy for this organization's late tax exemption application.
