BILL NUMBER:S2871
Title of bill
An act authorizing the assessor of the city of Buffalo to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. for a certain parcel of land located in the city of Buffalo
Summary of Provisions:
Section 1 states that, notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, the assessor of the City of Buffalo is authorized to accept from The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for the assessment roll for the 2010 assessment year, for the parcel located at 635 South Park Ave, Buffalo. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it has been received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
If satisfied that the Service Collaborative acquired title to the prop- erty for which it seeks exemption, the city of Buffalo may grant exemption from taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property by The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc.
If the exemption is granted, and if The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. paid any tax with respect to such subject roll, the governing body or tax department may provide for those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
Section 2 contains the effective date.
Justification: The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc., a not-for-profit organization pursuant to section 420-a of the Real Property Tax Law, acquired the title to a parcel of property in the city of Buffalo and would otherwise be entitled to tax exemption on such property if such an application was filed for the exemption on or before the appropriate taxable status date.
Due to the timing that The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. acquired this property, they were unable to apply for exemption status for the year in which said properties were acquired, despite their eligibility and qualification for such an exemption. This bill would alleviate the hardship that would be suffered by The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. should they be required to pay the aforementioned property tax.
