 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WEIK -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to requiring
 applications for property tax exemptions by nonprofit organizations be
 filed at the time of purchase of a property

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 11, subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) and
 2 subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 16 of section 420-a of
 3 the real property tax law, subdivision 11 as added by chapter 261 of the
 4 laws of 1992 and as further amended by subdivision (b) of section 1 of
 5 part W of chapter 56 of the laws of 2010, and subparagraph (ii) of para-
 6 graph (a) and subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 16 as
 7 added by chapter 358 of the laws of 2018, are amended to read as
 8 follows:
 9 11. An exemption may be granted pursuant to this section upon applica-
 10 tion by the owner on a form prescribed by the commissioner or any compa-
 11 rable form, which application may be filed with the assessor of the
 12 appropriate county, city, town or village on or before the applicable
 13 taxable status date. Such application shall be filed at the time of
 14 purchase of the property. The buyer's attorney or authorized agent
 15 responsible for filing who fails to timely file such application shall
 16 be fined in an amount equivalent to twenty-five percent of the proper-
 17 ty's assessed taxes. Where the assessor receives no such application,
 18 the assessor may nevertheless grant the exemption provided the assessor
 19 personally inspects the property and certifies in writing that it satis-
 20 fies all of the requirements for exemption set forth in this section.
 21 Where property is not granted an exemption pursuant to this section, the
 22 owner may seek judicial review pursuant to article seven of this chapter
 23 or article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.
 24 (ii) Where a nonprofit organization that meets the requirements for an
 25 exemption pursuant to this section, purchases property after the levy of
 26 taxes, such nonprofit organization may, if permitted by a local law,
 27 ordinance or resolution of the municipal corporation in which the

 1 nonprofit organization is located, file an application for exemption
 2 with the assessor [no later than the time specified in such local law,
 3 ordinance or resolution]. Such application shall be filed at the time of
 4 purchase of the property. A nonprofit organization's attorney or
 5 authorized representative who fails to timely file such application
 6 shall be fined in an amount equivalent to twenty-five percent of the
 7 property's assessed taxes. The assessor shall make a determination of
 8 whether the parcel would have qualified for exempt status on the tax
 9 roll on which the taxes were levied, had title to the parcel been in the
 10 name of the applicant on the taxable status date applicable to the tax
 11 roll. The application shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioner.
 12 The assessor, no later than thirty days after receipt of such applica-
 13 tion, shall notify both the applicant and the board of assessment
 14 review, by first class mail, of the exempt amount, if
