TITLE OF BILL:
An act in relation to authorizing the county of Nassau assessor to
accept an application for a real property tax exemption from Innovative
Resources for Independence
 
PURPOSE:
Authorizes the County of Nassau to grant a real property tax exemption
to Innovative Resources for Independence.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill authorizes the assessor of the county of Nassau to
accept an application for exemption from real property taxes for the
property owned by Innovative Resources for Independence.
Section 2 is the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
Innovative Resources for Independence (IRI) is a non-profit supporting
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. IRI's
programs support personal growth, teach skills for independence, promote
participation in the community, and guide individuals to succeed in work
and life. IRI purchased a property located in Nassau County at 16 Willow
Lane in Carle Place in March of 2021. Due to a filing error, their tax
exemption status for 2023 and 2024 were approved but the deadline for
2021 was missed and 2022 was just missed, therefore resulting in IRI
paying property taxes on this location in 2022 and 2021. This legis-
lation would provide Innovative Resources for Independence with an
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to 420-a of the Real Proper-
ty Tax Law.
 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the state.
 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
