Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to authorize Schenectady Day Nursery, Inc. to file an application for real property tax exemption in the city of Schenectady
Purpose
This bill permits the City of Schenectady to accept late applications for certain real property tax exemptions for the 2007 assessment roll, and, if found eligible, to grant the exemptions and refund any excess property taxes paid by the tax-exempt organization.
Summary of provisions
The bill permits the Schenectady City Assessor to accept and evaluate applications for tax exemptions for the 2007 assessment roll even though the deadline for these applications has . passed, and, if the Assessor finds that the entities and properties are indeed tax exempt, permits the City to grant the exemptions and refund any excess property taxes already paid.
Existing law
Under current law, there is no authority for the Assessor to accept and evaluate late applications. The owner of property which would be exempt pursuant to section 420-b of the Real Property Tax Law may, however, seek judicial review pursuant to article seven of the Real Property Tax law or article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
Justification
This legislation was introduced following discussions between officials of the City of Schenectady and representatives of several tax-exempt organizations which own property in the City. In the year 2007, an unusual number of tax exempt organizations failed, for one reason or another, to tile timely applications for continuation of their real property tax exemptions.
Effective date
Immediately.
