4 property taxes pursuant to section 430 of the real property tax law with
5 respect to the 2023, 2024 and 2025 assessment rolls, and all of

15 and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status

17 may grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
18 to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such organiza-
19 tion therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject
20 rolls, the governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
21 provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines,
22 penalties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
