BILL NUMBER:S4166

Title of bill

An act to authorize the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church to retroactively apply for real property tax exemptions for certain properties in the town of Smithtown, county of Suffolk

Purpose or general idea of the bill

To allow a retroactive application for real property tax exemption for Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, a not-for-profit corporation, for certain real property owned in the Town of Smithtown, Suffolk County.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 of the bill would authorize the assessor of the town of Smithtown, upon approval of the town board, to accept an application for an exemption from real property taxes as if made pursuant to §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law. If satisfied that Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church would otherwise have been entitled to said exemption, the assessor, upon approval of the town board may, in his or her sole discretion, provide for a refund or cancel all remaining unpaid taxes, interest, related fines and penalties.

Justification

Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, a not-for-profit religious organization pursuant to §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law, acquired title to two parcels of property located in the town of Smithtown located at 85 Old Nichols Road and 89 Old Nichols Road, and, would otherwise be entitled to a tax exemption on such property if such corporation filed an application for the exemption on or before the appropriate taxable status date.

It is intended by this bill to ameliorate the hardship that will be suffered by Holy Cross Roman Catholic church, a religious entity under §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law, if it is required to pay the property taxes due as described above.
