AN ACT authorizing the assessor of the city of Troy to accept from the
Sixth Avenue Baptist Church an application for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
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 Troy is hereby authorized to accept from the
3 Sixth Avenue Baptist Church an application for exemption from real prop-
4 erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for
5 the 2012, 2013 and 2014 assessment rolls for the parcel located in the
6 city of Troy at 3370 Sixth Avenue, otherwise known as: section 90.55,
7 block 3, lot 1.
8 If accepted, such application shall be reviewed as if it had been
9 received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
10 rolls. If satisfied that such church would otherwise be entitled to such
11 exemption if such church had filed an application for exemption by the
12 appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor, upon approval of the
13 common council of the city of Troy, may grant exemption from all taxa-
14 tion and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If such
15 exemption is granted and such church therefore shall have paid any tax
16 with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax department
17 may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid
18 and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens remaining
19 unpaid.
20 S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
