BILL NUMBER:S6422
Title of bill
An act to authorize the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from the Morgan Center for a certain parcel of land
Purpose
To authorize the Islip Town Assessor to accept an application for a real property tax exemption for a certain parcel owned by The Morgan Center.
Summary of provisions
This bill would authorize the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application from The Morgan Center 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 The Morgan Center 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 The Morgan Center.
Justification
The Morgan Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing preschool age children who are undergoing treatment for cancer the opportunity to interact and socialize in a safe environment that stimulates cognitive and social development. The Morgan Center purchased office space at 111 Carleton Avenue, Suite 2, Islip Terrace, New York on December 30, 2010. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, The Morgan Center is entitled to exemption from real property taxes pursuant to §420-a of the Real Property Tax Law and has applied, and been approved, for this exemption going forward. However, because this purchase was made after the closing of the 2010-2011 tax rolls, there were taxes due in the amount of $42,437.30, which the Morgan Center has already paid. This legislation is necessary to allow the Town of Islip to accept a retroactive application from the Morgan Center and refund the aforementioned taxes.
