Bill > A10062

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, which are the official lists of property values used for calculating taxes. This means that even though the church may have missed the usual deadline to apply for this exemption, the assessor in the town of Babylon, Suffolk County, is allowed to accept their application as if it were filed on time. If the church qualifies for the exemption under section 420-a of the real property tax law, which generally grants tax exemptions to religious organizations, and the town board approves, the church will be exempt from property taxes for those years, and any taxes, fines, or penalties already paid may be refunded, and any outstanding amounts may be canceled.
