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:

 

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the  assessor  of  the  Town of Pelham, county of Westchester, is hereby
 authorized to accept from the Pelham Jewish Center  an  application  for
 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
 property tax law for the 2012-2013 assessment roll, for the parcel owned
 by  such  non-for-profit  synagogue  which is located at 804 Wolfs Lane,
 otherwise  known  as  Pelham  tax  map  block  and  lot  number   554405
 166.27-2-64. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
 been  received on or before the taxable status date established for such
 roll.
 If satisfied that the Pelham Jewish Center would otherwise be entitled
 to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had  acquired  the
 subject property and filed an application for exemption by the appropri
 ate  taxable  status  date,  the  assessor, upon approval by the Town of
 Pelham, Village of Pelham Manor and Pelham UFSD Board, may  make  appro
 priate  correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and
 such organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax  with  respect  to
 the  subject  roll, the applicable governing body or tax department may,
 in its sole discretion, provide for a refund of  those  taxes  paid  and
 cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens or interest that remain
 unpaid.
 

S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
