Bill > A09459

This bill makes technical corrections to a 2025 law that allows the Thiells-Roseville Fire District to apply for exemptions from school and real property taxes. Specifically, it corrects a reference from section 464 to section 410 of the real property tax law, which governs tax exemptions. This change allows the assessor in Haverstraw, Rockland County, to accept a late application for tax exemptions for specific parcels of land owned by the fire district, as if it had been filed on time. If the fire district would have qualified for the exemption, the assessor, with approval from the town's governing board, can grant the exemption and adjust the tax roll, potentially refunding any taxes already paid. This bill takes effect on the same date as the original 2025 law it amends.
