         Committee on Real Property Taxation
       AN ACT to authorize the town  of  Ramapo  to  file  an  application  for
         exemption from real property taxes for certain parcels of land located
         in the town of Ramapo, county of Rockland
         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 Ramapo, is hereby authorized to accept  from
    3  the  town  of  Ramapo,  an  application for exemption from real property
    4  taxes pursuant to section 406 of the real property tax law for the  2009
    5  assessment  roll,  for the parcels owned by such town, which are located
    6  in the town of Ramapo at 982  Route  45,  otherwise  known  as:  section
    7  33.15,  block  1, lots 5 and 10.  If accepted, such application shall be
    8  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the applicable deadline
    9  for filing such applications established for such roll.
   10    If satisfied that such town: (i) acquired title to  the  property  for
   11  which  it  seeks  exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to such
   12  exemption if such town had acquired such  property  by  the  appropriate
   13  taxable  status  date,  the assessor, upon approval by the town board of
   14  the town of Ramapo, may grant exemption from all taxation beginning with
   15  the date of acquisition of the property by such town and make  appropri-
   16  ate  correction  to  the  subject roll. If exemption is granted and such
   17  town therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll,
   18  the governing body or  tax  department  may,  in  its  sole  discretion,
   19  provide  for  the  refund  of  those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines,
   20  penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   21    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
