BILL NUMBER:S4012
Title of bill
An act to authorize Breast Cancer Help, 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 Breast Cancer Help, Inc. for payment of real property taxes in connection with the 2010-2011 assessment roll.
Summary of provisions
This bill would authorize the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application from Breast Cancer Help, Inc. for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law for the 2010-2011 assessment roll. If satisfied that Breast Cancer Help, Inc. would otherwise have been entitled to said exemption, the assessor is authorized to grant same, and cancel all remaining unpaid taxes. 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 Breast Cancer Help, Inc.
Justification
Breast Cancer Help, Inc. recently purchased an office building at 32 Park Avenue, Bay Shore, New York. As a 501 (c)3 not-for-profit corporation, Breast Cancer Help, Inc. is entitled to exemption from real property taxes pursuant to §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law. Breast Cancer Help, Inc. has applied for, and been approved, this exemption for future years. However, because the building was purchased after the closing of the 2010-2011 tax rolls there are taxes of $12,618.14 due, of which the first half has already been paid. This legislation is necessary to allow the Town of Islip to accept a retroactive application from Breast Cancer Help, Inc. and waive the aforementioned taxes due.
