     4  ny Church of God, a religious not-for-profit corporation, an application
     5  for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of  the
     6  real  property  tax  law  with  respect to the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and
     7  2023-2024 assessment rolls, for all of the school taxes and all  of  the
     8  general  taxes  of such rolls for the parcel owned by such organization,
     9  with such parcel being located in the city of Albany, county of  Albany,
    10  at  453  Delaware  Avenue,  otherwise  known  as  Albany  county tax map

    12  be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the  taxable  status
    13  dates established for such rolls.
    14    If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
    15  such exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application  for

    17  approval of the  common  council  of  the  city  of  Albany,  may  grant
    18  exemption  from  all  taxation  and  make appropriate corrections to the

    20  therefor, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the
    21  applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
    22  provide  for  the  refund  of  those  taxes paid and cancel those taxes,
    23  fines, penalties, liens, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
