AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau to accept an
application for exemption from real property taxes from Iglesia Long
Island Para Cristo Inc. for a certain parcel in the town of Hempstead
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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
3 Iglesia Long Island Para Cristo Inc. an application for exemption from
4 real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
5 law for a portion of the 2015-2016 school and a portion of the 2016
6 general tax roll, and the 2016-2017 school and 2017 general tax roll for
7 the parcel located in the town of Hempstead at 177 Harvard Street, Hemp-
8 stead, otherwise known as: section 34, block 248, lot 109 and 110. If
9 accepted, such application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
10 on or before the taxable status dates established for such rolls. If
11 satisfied that such non-profit would otherwise be entitled to such
12 exemption if such non-profit had filed an application for exemption by
13 the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor, upon approval of the
14 Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all taxation and
15 make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If such exemption is
16 granted and such non-profit therefore shall have paid any tax with
17 respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax department may,
18 in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
19 cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens remaining
20 unpaid.
21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
