AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Town of Brookhaven to grant Mary-
haven Center of Hope, Inc. of East Patchogue a property tax exemption
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 Brookhaven, County of Suffolk, is hereby
3 authorized to accept from Maryhaven Center of Hope, Inc., a not-for-pro-
4 fit corporation, an application for exemption from real property taxes
5 pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to
6 the 2016-2017 assessment rolls, for the parcel owned by such not-for-
7 profit corporation which is located at 2 Piper Court, East Patchogue,
8 Town of Brookhaven, County of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk County
9 tax map district 0200, section 977.70, block 03.00, lot 010.000. If
10 accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
11 on or before the taxable status date established for such assessment
12 rolls.
13 If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
14 exemption if such not-for-profit corporation has filed an application
15 for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
16 approval of the Town of Brookhaven board, may grant exemption from taxa-
17 tion on such assessment rolls and make the appropriate corrections of
18 the subject rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation,
19 therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls,
20 the applicable governing body or tax departments, in their sole
21 discretion, shall provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with
22 any fines or penalties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
