BILL NUMBER:S5276A
Title of bill
An act authorizing a real property tax exemption application from Mt. Vernon Neighborhood Health Center, Inc. D/B/A Greenburgh Health Center, in the town of Greenburgh, county of Westchester
Summary of provisions
Section 1 states that, notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, the assessor of the Town of Greenburgh is authorized to accept from Mt. Vernon Neighborhood Health Center, Inc. D/B/A Greenburgh Health Center, an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2013-14 tax roll, for the parcel located at 295 Knollwood Road, Greenburgh. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
If satisfied that the Mt. Vernon Health Center, Inc. would be entitled to the exemption if the application was filed by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor with approval by the Town of Greenburgh may make the correction to the tax roll.
If the exemption is granted, and if Mt. Vernon Health Center, Inc., paid any tax with respect to such subject roll, the governing body or tax department may provide for a refund of those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
Section 2 provides that the act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Mt. Vernon Health Center, 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 Town of Greenburgh, and would otherwise be entitled to a tax exemption on such property if an application was filed for the exemption on or before the appropriate taxable status date.
Due to the timing that Mt. Vernon Health Center, 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 Mt. Vernon Health Center. Inc. should they be required to pay the aforementioned property tax.
