       Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee
         on Real Property Taxation
       AN ACT authorizing a real property tax exemption application from Pelham
         Jewish Center in the town of Pelham, county of Westchester
         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 Town of Pelham, county  of  Westchester,  is  hereby
    3  authorized  to  accept  from the Pelham Jewish Center an application for
    4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
    5  property tax law for the 2012-2013 assessment roll, for the parcel owned
    6  by such non-for-profit synagogue which is located  at  804  Wolfs  Lane,
    7  otherwise   known  as  Pelham  tax  map  block  and  lot  number  554405
    8  166.27-2-64. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
    9  been received on or before the taxable status date established for  such
   10  roll.
   11    If satisfied that the Pelham Jewish Center would otherwise be entitled
   12  to  such  exemption if such not-for-profit organization had acquired the
   13  subject property and filed an application for exemption by the appropri-
   14  ate taxable status date, the assessor, upon  approval  by  the  Town  of
   15  Pelham,  Village  of Pelham Manor and Pelham UFSD Board, may make appro-
   16  priate correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted  and
   17  such  organization,  therefore,  shall have paid any tax with respect to
   18  the subject roll, the applicable governing body or tax  department  may,
   19  in  its  sole  discretion,  provide for a refund of those taxes paid and
   20  cancel those taxes, fines, penalties,  liens  or  interest  that  remain
   21  unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
