A 10898 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the Hicksville Water District to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status

This bill allows the Hicksville Water District to receive a retroactive exemption from real property taxes for specific years and tax rolls. It authorizes the Nassau County assessor to process a tax exemption application for the district's property at 109 Stewart Ave in Hicksville, treating it as if the request had been filed on time. If the exemption is approved, the district may be eligible for a refund of any taxes already paid and the cancellation of related penalties or liens. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.

MINOR
The bill was amended to expand the tax exemption coverage for the Hicksville Water District. Originally, the exemption applied only to the 2024-2025 tax year, but the amendment now includes the 2025-2026 tax year as well. This change ensures the district receives tax relief for two consecutive years rather than just one.
Scope change
The scope of the tax exemption was expanded from a single tax year (2024-2025) to cover two tax years (2024-2025 and 2025-2026), increasing the total tax relief provided to the district.
SCOPE

Extended the tax exemption to include the 2025-2026 assessment rolls, covering all 2025-2026 school taxes and all 2026 general taxes, in addition to the previously authorized 2024-2025 taxes.
