AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Centerport Fire District to file
an application for exemption from school taxes and real property taxes
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 town of Huntington, county of Suffolk, is hereby
3 authorized to accept from the Centerport Fire District, an application
4 for exemption from school taxes and real property taxes pursuant to
5 section 464 of the real property tax law with respect to the 2022-2023
6 assessment roll, for the parcels owned by such organization, with such
7 parcels being located at 2 State Route 25A in the town of Huntington,
8 county of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk county tax map, district
9 0400 section 044.00 block 03.00 lot 020.000.
10 If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
11 received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
12 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to such
13 exemption if such organization had filed an application for exemption by
14 the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
15 town of Huntington governing board, may grant exemption from all taxa-
16 tion and make appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such
17 exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any
18 tax with respect to the subject roll, the applicable governing body or
19 tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
20 the taxes paid, along with any fines or penalties paid, and cancel any
21 taxes, fines, penalties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
