2024-25 School Taxes
Chabad of Sea Gate could still claim Brooklyn tax exemption
The New York bill covers the group’s parcel at 2930 West 37th Street and gives Kings County a way to treat the application as if it met the deadline. If the exemption is approved, officials could also refund taxes already paid and cancel some remaining charges.
A late filing would not have to end the case for this Brooklyn property. The proposal gives the assessor a path to accept the exemption request, and it lets local officials decide whether to refund paid taxes and wipe out unpaid balances.

In New York, Chabad of Sea Gate could get another shot at a property-tax exemption for its Brooklyn parcel at 2930 West 37th Street. The bill would let the Kings County assessor accept a late application for the state’s religious and nonprofit real-property exemption, then review it as if it had been filed by the taxable-status deadline.
The request reaches back to the 2024-25 school taxes and the 2025 general taxes tied to the property. If officials conclude the organization would have qualified anyway, the tax rolls could be corrected under section 420-a of the real property tax law.
A tax bill that can be rewound
The relief would not stop at filing paperwork late. If the exemption is approved, the application would be treated as timely, and the New York City Council would have to sign off before the rolls could be corrected.
That could mean more than a new exemption going forward. Taxes already paid could be refunded, and unpaid taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest could be canceled, at the discretion of the governing body or tax department.
