Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to authorize Union Graduate College to file an application for real property tax exemption in the city of Schenectady
Purpose
This bill permits the City of Schenectady to accept a late application for certain real property tax exemptions for the 2008 assessment roll, and, if found eligible, to grant the exemption 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 an application for tax exemptions for the 2008 assessment roll even though the deadline for this application has passed, and, if the Assessor finds that the entity 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-a 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
In 2008, the Union Graduate College acquired property for construction of a new classroom/administration building. Regrettably, the College failed to file the necessary paperwork for their property tax exemption in time for the 2008 taxable status date. This legislation will permit the assessor to accept a late application.
Effective date
Immediately.
