BILL NUMBER:S8031
Title of bill
An act to authorize the county of Putnam to retroactively apply for a real property tax exemption for certain property in the town of Carmel, county of Putnam
Purpose or general idea of bill
The county of Putnam is authorized to retroactively apply for a real property tax exemption for a parcel in the town of Carmel to accommodate a new facility for the Putnam County Board of Elections.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. The assessor of the town of Carmel, county of Putnam, is authorized to accept from the county of Putnam an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 406 of the real property tax law for the 2010 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such municipal corporation which is located at 25 Old Route Six, in the town of Carmel, county of Putnam, otherwise known as Putnam county tax map, section 55.7, block 1, lot 2. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established for such rolls. This new facility will accommodate the Putnam County Board of Elections.
If satisfied that such municipal corporation is entitled to such exemption if it filed the application by the tax status deadline, the assessor, upon approval of the Carmel town board, may make the appropriate correction to the subject rolls.
Justification
The County of Putnam was scheduled to close on the purchase of this parcel prior to March 1, 2010; however weather conditions prevented the county of Putnam from doing so. Had the county done so, it would have been eligible for the tax exemption. The Putnam County Legislature has passed a resolution requesting that the New York State Legislature grant the authorization.
