AN ACT in relation to authorizing Caritas of Port Chester Inc. to file
an application for a real 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 Village of Port Chester is hereby authorized to
3 accept from Caritas of Port Chester Inc. an application for exemption
4 from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property
5 tax law for the 2020-2021 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such
6 organization located in the Town of Rye, Village of Port Chester at
7 509-511 North Main Street, otherwise known as Westchester county tax map
8 section 136.64, block 1, lot 34. If accepted, the application shall be
9 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status
10 dates established for such roll.
11 If satisfied that such community service organization would otherwise
12 be entitled to such exemption if such community service organization has
13 acquired the subject property and filed an application for exemption by
14 the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
15 Town Board of Rye, Village of Port Chester, may grant exemption from all
16 taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such
17 exemption is granted and such community service organization therefore
18 shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing
19 body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
20 refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties,
21 interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
