Bill > A08566

This bill allows the assessor of the town of Ramapo in Rockland County to accept a retroactive property tax exemption application from Yeshivas Nachlas Sofrim Inc. for a specific property located at 66 Highview Road. The bill enables the assessor to review the tax exemption application as if it had been submitted by the original taxable status date, potentially granting a tax exemption for the 2022-2023 school taxes and 2022 and 2023 general taxes. If the exemption is approved and the organization has already paid taxes for this period, 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 represents a specific, targeted legislative action to provide retroactive tax relief to this particular educational institution, bypassing typical filing deadlines and giving the local tax authorities discretion in processing the exemption.
