What's happening

This bill allows Nassau County to grant a retroactive property tax exemption to Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo Inc. for specific tax years.

Why it matters

  1. Addresses fairness for religious and nonprofit organizations. by allowing Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo Inc. to apply for a property tax exemption retroactively, potentially correcting an administrative oversight that could have placed a financial burden on the organization.

  2. Sets a precedent for handling missed exemption deadlines. in Nassau County, signaling that local authorities may show flexibility in cases where nonprofits miss tax exemption application deadlines, provided legislative approval is granted.

  3. Could result in refunds or cancellation of tax liabilities. for the affected tax years if the exemption is granted, which would directly benefit the organization’s financial stability and ability to serve its community.

AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo Inc. for a certain parcel in the town of Hempstead

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for a portion of the 2016-2017 school and the 2017 general tax roll for the parcel located in the town of Hempstead at 177 Harvard Ave., also known as 24 James LL Burrell Ave., Hempstead, otherwise known as: section 34, block 248, lot 109 and 110. If accepted, such application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such rolls. If satisfied that such non-profit would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such non-profit had filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor, upon approval of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such non-profit therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.

§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
