BILL NUMBER:S6139A
Title of bill
An act to authorize Lighthouse Mission, Inc. to file an application for exemption from real property taxes for a certain parcel of land located in the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk
Purpose
To allow Lighthouse Mission, Inc. to file for a real property tax exemption for the 2008-2009 assessment rolls.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the town of Brookhaven and Suffolk County to authorize to accept from Lighthouse Mission, Inc. an application for real property taxes. Such exemption shall be for the 2008-2009 rolls on property owned in the village of Bellport at 1543 Montauk Highway.
Section 2 is the effective date.
Justification
Funds to purchase this building were not made available to Lighthouse Mission, Inc. until April of 2009, as a result the closing for this building did not occur until April 24, 2009 and as a result they missed filing for tax exempt status for the year by 7 weeks (March 1, 2009). As a result the not-for-profit is facing a significant tax bill that they cannot afford to pay. Current capital is being used to rehab this new location into a workable location. Lighthouse Mission, Inc. is already prepared to file for tax exempt status for the 2010-2011 tax bill, however they seek relief via legislation for the 2008-2009 assessment.
