Makes technical corrections relating to authorizing the Bedford Hills Fire District to file an application for exemption from school and real property taxes

Bedford Hills Fire District gets exemption option

Bedford's assessor can accept a late school and property tax exemption application from the Bedford Hills Fire District. It covers district-owned property at 352 Bedford Road, Bedford, Westchester County, on the 2022–2023 assessment roll. The parcel is tax map section 60.14, block 5, lot 83. An accepted application is reviewed as filed by the original tax eligibility deadline. The assessor can grant exemption from all taxation and correct the roll after finding the district qualified by that deadline. The Town board must also approve. Once an exemption is granted, if the district paid taxes on that roll, the governing body or tax department can choose to refund paid taxes, fines, and penalties. It can also choose to cancel unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, interest, and tax liens. The law takes effect on the same date and in the same manner as the related 2025 law identified as S. 4043 and A. 46.
