BILL NUMBER:S4303
Title of bill
An act to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau to accept an application for exemption from real property tax from the Calvary Apostolic Church, Inc. for a certain parcel of land located in the town of Oyster Bay
Purpose
For Calvary Apostolic Church Inc. to be exempt from real property tax on land located in Oyster Bay.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of this bill states that the Assessor of Nassau County is authorized to accept an application for exemption from Real Property Taxes, from the Calvary Apostolic Church, Inc. for a parcel of land located in Oyster Bay. Furthermore, the application shall be reviewed and if satisfied, the Assessor, upon approval of the Nassau County Legislature, may grant exemption from all taxation. The governing body or tax department may, to their discretion, provide a refund for any taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest of tax liens remaining unpaid.
Section 2 of this bill provides that this act shall take effect immediately.
Existing law
Currently there is no existing law.
Justification
Calvary Apostolic Church, Inc. acquired its property in October 2013 and immediately filed a property tax exemption application with the Nassau County Assessor's Office. The exemption was approved for the 2014/2015 School Year and 2015 General Year. In October 2014, the Nassau County Treasurer claimed the church owed unpaid taxes totaling $120,111.05. This amount of unpaid tax was from a period before the church acquired the property.
The property tax exemption was granted prospectively to the next tax year, as the Nassau County Assessor does not grant a retroactive exemption to the date of acquisition.
