S 10251 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Godschild Outreach Ministries to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status

This bill allows Godschild Outreach Ministries, a non-profit organization in Wyandanch, to receive a retroactive exemption from real property taxes for the 2023-2024 through 2025-2026 tax years. Under the legislation, the town assessor would review the organization's application as if it had been submitted on time, granting tax relief on specific parcels of land if the group qualifies under existing laws. If the exemption is approved, the town may refund any taxes, fines, or penalties previously paid and remove any outstanding tax liens associated with the property. The measure applies only to this specific organization and does not change the general rules for property tax exemptions in the town of Babylon.
