Bill > A09180

This bill authorizes the assessor of the town of Babylon to accept a late application for real property tax exemption from Christian Congregation of Long Island, a not-for-profit organization, for the 2023-2024 assessment rolls. This means that even though the deadline to apply for tax exemption has passed, the assessor can still consider their application for the property located at 890 County Line Road in Amityville. If the assessor determines that the organization would have qualified for the exemption had they applied on time, and the town board approves, the property can be exempted from taxes. If the organization has already paid taxes for this period, the town may refund those taxes, along with any fines or penalties, and cancel any outstanding amounts. The bill takes effect immediately.
