BILL NUMBER:S3994
Title of bill
An act to authorize the Faith Alive Ministries to file an application for exemption from real property taxes for a certain parcel 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 Faith Alive Ministries, from liability for payment of real property taxes on their newly acquired property.
Summary of provisions
Section One authorizes the assessor of the town of Islip to accept a late application from the Faith Alive Ministries for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to Section 420-a of the real property tax law for the assessment roll pertaining to the year 2014-2015. Upon satisfaction that the Faith Alive Ministries would have otherwise been entitled to said exemption, but for their acquisition of the property after the taxable status date, the assessor may grant this late exemption.
Section Two is the effective date.
Justification
Faith Alive Ministries purchased church property at 15 W. Suffolk Avenue after the taxable status, thereby denying them the ability to timely file for a property tax exemption for the 2014-2015 assessment roll. This legislation will allow the assessor for the town of Islip to accept a late application for tax exempt status from the church.
Existing law authorizes tax exemptions to be granted after the taxable status date has passed, only if a bill is chaptered by the state legislature, authorizing the assessor to accept a late application.
