AN ACT authorizing the Hicksville Water District to receive retroactive
real property tax exempt status
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
2 the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
3 the Hicksville Water District an application for exemption from real
4 property taxes pursuant to section 410 of the real property tax law with
5 respect to the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 assessment rolls for a portion of
6 the 2024-2025 school taxes, a portion of the 2025 general taxes, all of
7 the 2025-2026 school taxes and all of the 2026 general taxes for the
8 parcel conveyed to such organization located at 109 Stewart Ave, town of
9 Oyster Bay, county of Nassau, in the hamlet of Hicksville, New York,
10 otherwise known as Nassau County parcel ID section 45 block 331 lot 40.
11 If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
12 received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
13 If satisfied that such organization should otherwise be entitled to
14 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
15 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
16 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
17 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
18 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
19 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
20 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
21 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
22 unpaid.
23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
