BILL NUMBER:S7242
Title of bill
An act to authorize Brothers of St. Paul Lodge 282, Inc. to file an application for real property tax exemption
Purpose
To permit the City of Schenectady to accept a late application for an exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a RPTL for the 2009 through 2011 assessment rolls.
Summary of provisions
This bill permits the Schenectady City Assessor to accept and evaluate applications from the Brothers of St. Paul Lodge 282 for tax exemptions for the 2009 through 2011 assessment rolls, even though the deadline for these applications has passed.
Existing law
Under current law, there is no authority for an assessor to accept and evaluate late applications for a tax exemption based on not-for-profit status.
Justification
The Brothers of St. Paul Lodge 282 missed the application deadline and did not receive its tax exempt status for the 2009 through 2011 assessment rolls. This nonprofit organization must now rectify this situation through state legislation. The restoration of this property tax exemption will enable this nonprofit to continue serving the community.
Legislative history
New in 2012. Several similar bills have been passed in the last few years for other affected not-for-profit organizations in the City of Schenectady.
Fiscal implications
None to the State. At the local level, the bill would restore property tax exemptions which had previously been granted, thereby returning relative shares of tax -exempt and taxpaying properties to their status in prior years.
Effective date
Immediately.
