BILL NUMBER:S2598A
Title of bill
An act authorizing the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from the Gospel Tabernacle Church of God in Christ for certain parcels of land located in the town of Islip
Purpose or general idea of bill
To grant the town assessor for the town of Islip the authority to exempt the Gospel Tabernacle Church of God in Christ (also known as the "Common Ground Church"), a not-for-profit church, from liability for payment of real property taxes on their parsonage property that was due on the assessment rolls for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.
Summary of provisions
Section One authorizes and directs the assessor of the town of Islip to accept an application from the Common Ground Church for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to Section 420-a of the real property tax law for the assessment rolls of years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 for the parsonage located on property in Central Islip. Upon satisfaction that the Common Ground Church would have otherwise been entitled to said exemption, the assessor may grant this exemption from all taxation beginning with respect to these rolls. If exemption is granted, the church may be refunded any taxes paid and any taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest unpaid may be cancelled through the sole discretion of the town board.
Section Two is the effective date.
Justification
The parsonage property associated with the Common Ground Church is expected to receive tax-exempt status in 2012. This bill would authorize the assessor of the town of Islip to accept application from the Common Ground Church for exemption from real property taxes paid on the parsonage pursuant to Section 420-a of the real property tax law for assessment rolls from 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 which would refund to the church their taxes for the years before this property was given tax exempt status.
