AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the town of Haverstraw, county of
Rockland, to accept an application for exemption from real property
taxes from Iglesia Pentecostal 3RA Nueva Jerusalem, Inc.
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 Haverstraw, county of Rockland, is hereby
3 authorized to accept from Iglesia Pentecostal 3RA Nueva Jerusalem, Inc.
4 an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to
5 section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2017 assessment roll,
6 for the parcel owned by such organization located at 1 Cosgrove Avenue,
7 in the village of West Haverstraw within the town of Haverstraw, county
8 of Rockland, otherwise known as Rockland county tax map, section 20.19,
9 block 7, lot 37. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it
10 had been received on or before the taxable status date established for
11 such roll.
12 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
13 such exemption if such organization had acquired the property and filed
14 an application by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor,
15 upon approval by the town board, may make appropriate corrections to the
16 subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization, there-
17 fore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
18 applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
19 provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those taxes,
20 fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
