BILL NUMBER:S2632
Title of bill
An act to authorize the Brentwood Church of God in Christ, Inc. to file an application for a real property tax exemption
Purpose
To authorize the town of Islip to grant a real property tax exemption to the Brentwood Church of God in Christ, Inc. for payment of real property taxes in connection with the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 assessment rolls.
Summary of provisions
This bill would authorize the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to Section 420-a of the Real Property Tax Law for the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 assessment roll. If satisfied that the Brentwood Church of God in Christ, Inc. would otherwise have been entitled to said exemption, the assessor is authorized to grant same, and cancel all remaining unpaid taxes, interest, related fines and penalties. It would also allow the assessor of the town of Islip, with the approval of the town board, to provide for the refund of any taxes that may have been paid by the Brentwood Church of God in Christ, Inc.
Justification
The Brentwood Church of God in Christ, Inc., through administrative oversight, failed to successfully apply for a real property tax exemption pursuant to section 420-a of the Real Property Tax Law for the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 assessments roll for the parcel it owned in the town of Islip. Due to this administrative failure, taxes and penalties of $10,149.80 are now due from the Church and the parcel, which has been owned by the Church for thirty years, is threatened by tax lien foreclosure. This bill would allow the town of Islip to accept a retroactive application from the Church of God and waive the aforementioned taxes and penalties now due.
