Bill > S10117

This bill authorizes the assessor for Nassau County to accept a late application for a real property tax exemption from the Al-Hikmah Institute Inc. for a specific property located in Bethpage. A real property tax exemption is a reduction or elimination of property taxes granted to certain organizations, in this case, under section 420-a of the real property tax law, which typically applies to property used for religious, charitable, hospital, educational, or governmental purposes. The bill allows the assessor to consider the application as if it were filed on time for the 2024-2025 school and general tax periods, and if the organization qualifies, the assessor, with approval from the Nassau County Legislature, can adjust the tax rolls. If taxes have already been paid, the relevant governing body can choose to refund those payments and cancel any outstanding taxes, fines, penalties, or interest.
