Bill > A08601

This bill authorizes a special tax exemption for New Hour for Women and Children LI, Inc., a non-profit organization located in Islip, Suffolk County, New York. Specifically, the bill allows the town assessor to accept a late application for a real property tax exemption for the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 assessment rolls for a property located at 248 Crooked Hill Road. The bill provides a retroactive opportunity for the organization to apply for a tax exemption under section 420-a of the real property tax law, even though the application is being submitted after the standard filing deadline. If the assessor determines that the non-profit would have qualified for the exemption had it been filed on time, the town board can approve the exemption. Additionally, if the organization has already paid taxes during this period, the town may refund those taxes, cancel any remaining tax liens, and remove any associated fines or penalties. The bill is designed to provide administrative flexibility and relief for this specific non-profit organization's tax situation.
