Authorizes the county of Nassau assessor to accept an application for a real property tax exemption from Winners Chapel International New York.

Impact

If A08013 is enacted, it would enable the Nassau County assessor to review the application as if it had been submitted on time, thereby facilitating the potential for a tax exemption that would alleviate the financial burden on the organization. This is particularly beneficial for non-profit entities aimed at community services, as it can free up resources that can be reinvested back into local programs. Moreover, it may set a precedent for similar applications in the future, influencing how local tax exemptions are handled for not-for-profit organizations.

Summary

Assembly Bill A08013 seeks to authorize the assessor of Nassau County to accept a late application for a real property tax exemption from Winners Chapel International New York. This bill specifically pertains to the organization's properties located at 306 Fulton Ave., Hempstead, granting them an exemption for the tax assessment years 2022, 2023, and 2024. By allowing the acceptance of this late application, the bill aims to provide a relief mechanism for the exempt entity due to possible administrative oversights or delays.

Contention

While the bill appears straightforward, it may evoke discussions regarding fairness and consistency in tax exemption practices. Some stakeholders might express concerns about the implications of allowing late applications, fearing it may lead to unequal treatment among organizations. Furthermore, the necessity for legislative approval before the exemption can be granted adds an additional layer to the process, raising questions around interoperability between the legislative body and the assessment processes.
