AN ACT authorizing the county of Nassau assessor to accept an applica-
tion for a real property tax exemption from the Lighthouse Interna-
tional Christian Gathering
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 the Lighthouse International Christian Gathering an application for
4 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 462 of the real
5 property tax law for the 2022-2023 assessment roll for the 2022-2023
6 school taxes and 2023 general taxes for the parcel conveyed to such
7 organization located at 800 West Merrick Road, town of Hempstead, county
8 of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county parcel ID section 37, block
9 407, lots 222, 223, 224, 225, 236. If accepted, the application shall be
10 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
11 established for such roll.
12 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
13 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
14 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
15 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
16 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
17 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
18 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
19 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
20 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
21 unpaid.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
