TITLE OF BILL:
An act authorizing the Congregation Atzei Chaim to receive retroactive
real property tax exempt status
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the county of Rockland is hereby authorized to accept
from Congregation Atzei Chaim, an application for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to section 430 of the real property tax law with
respect to the 2023 and 2024 assessment rolls, and all of 2023-2024
school taxes for the parcel conveyed to such organization, with such
parcel being located at 9 Sumter Road, in the village of Airmont, other8
wise known as Rockland County tax map section 61.08, block 1, lot 26. If
accepted, the 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 organization would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property and
filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
date, the assessor, upon approval by the Rockland County legislature,
may grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such organization
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, penal-
ties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
PURPOSE:
The bill would provide a tax exemption for the years 2023 and 2024 of
the address known as 9 Sumter Road located in Airmont, New York. This
address previously paid property taxes when it did not need to pay. The
Town Board of the Town of Ramapo has no objection to the passage of the
above legislation and will agree to grant a tax exemption for the above
property for the tax years in question if legislation is passed and
signed by the Governor.
