Authorizes New Hour for Women and Children LI, Inc. to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status

New Hour can seek past tax relief

Effective immediately, the law lets Islip’s assessor accept a late property tax exemption application from New Hour for Women and Children LI, Inc. It covers the nonprofit’s property at 248 Crooked Hill Road, Islip, Suffolk County, for the 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 assessment rolls. An accepted application receives review as though filed on time. The nonprofit must qualify under Real Property Tax Law section 420-a, and the Islip Town Board must approve. The assessor may then grant the exemption and correct the tax rolls. If granted, local officials may refund paid taxes, fines, and penalties. They may also cancel unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, interest, or tax liens; this relief is discretionary.
