Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
tee on Real Property Taxation
AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the City of Albany to
accept from the Koinonia Primary Care, Inc. an application for
exemption from 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 City of Albany is hereby authorized to accept from
3 the Koinonia Primary Care, Inc. an application for exemption from real
4 property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
5 for the 2019 assessment roll, for the parcels located in the City of
6 Albany at 553 Clinton Avenue and 157 North Lake Avenue, otherwise known
7 as Albany county tax map section 65.55, block 5, lot 60 and 65.55, block
8 1, lot 23. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
9 been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
10 rolls. If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled
11 to such exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property
12 and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
13 date, the assessor, upon approval by the City of Albany Common Council,
14 may grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
15 to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization
16 therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
17 governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide
18 for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penal-
19 ties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
