BILL NUMBER:S3413A
Title of bill
An act to authorize State Street Presbyterian Church to file an application for real property tax exemption
Purpose
This bill authorizes the assessor of the City of Schenectady to accept a late application for certain real property tax exemptions for the 2010 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
Authorizes the assessor of the City of Schenectady to accept and evaluate an application for tax exemptions for the 2010 assessment roll even though the deadline for these applications has passed, and, if the Assessor finds that the entity and property are indeed tax exempt, permits the City to grant the exemption 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 a property would be exempt pursuant to section 420-a of the Real Property Tax law or article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
Justification
State Street Presbyterian Church was not granted tax exempt status for the 2010 assessment rolls due to an isolated oversight and must now rectify this situation through state legislation. This not-for-profit entity has provided many years of valuable charitable services to children and families in the City of Schenectady, and seeks their rightful property tax exemption to continue those efforts.
Fiscal implications
None.
Local fiscal implications
Will restore real property tax exemptions, which previously existed, returning relative shares of tax-exempt and taxpaying properties to their status in the prior years.
Effective date
Immediately, and applicable to the 2010 assessment roll.
