Bill > S08941

This bill authorizes the Farmingdale First Baptist Church, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status for its property located at 51 East Street in Amityville, New York, for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 assessment rolls. This means that even though the church may have missed the deadline to apply for this exemption, the assessor of the town of Babylon is allowed to accept and review their application as if it were filed on time. If the church qualifies for the exemption, and the town board approves, the property will be exempt from all property taxes, and any taxes, fines, or penalties already paid for those years may be refunded, with any outstanding amounts canceled. This provision is intended to correct a potential oversight in the application process for a religious organization.
