BILL NUMBER:S7297B
Title of bill
An act to authorize the town of New Windsor, in the county of Orange, to grant a retroactive real property tax assessment reduction for a certain parcel destroyed by Hurricane Irene
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the town of New Windsor to grant a retroactive real property tax assessment reduction for a certain parcel destroyed by Hurricane Irene.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Authorizes the town of New Windsor's town board to grant a real property tax assessment reduction for the 2011 tax year for a certain piece of property which was destroyed by Hurricane Irene on August 28, 2011, was issued a violation as an unsafe structure on August 29, 2011, and has been ordered to be demolished. Section 2: Authorizes the town board to provide for a refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens which accrued on any amount in excess of the taxes owed due to the reduced assessment. Section 3: This act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
The home that this bill concerns was condemned by a town of New Windsor Fire Inspector on August 29, 2011 due to damage caused by Hurricane Irene. Due to the severity of the damage, the town has determined that the house is uninhabitable and the lot is not buildable due to a collapse of the land. In addition, the home has been ordered demolished on May 3, 2012 due to the damage that was caused during 2011. On April 20, 2012, the town of New Windsor Assessor reduced the 2012 assessment for the property. This legislation would authorize the town of New Windsor to grant the same reduction retroactively for the 2011 assessment roll.
