COUNCILMAN TALBOT: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, there has been presented to the
Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, on the 6`h day of November,
2013, a Local Law entitled "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 245,
Taxation, to Provide Assessment and Tax Relief to Property Owners Impacted by
Superstorm Sandy" and
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town of Southold will
hold a public hearing on the aforesaid Local Law at Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road,
Southold, New York, on the 19th day of November, 2013 at 4:36 p.m. at which time all

A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 245, Taxation to
Provide Assessment and Tax Relief to Property Owners Impacted by Superstorm Sandy".

1. Purpose.
Superstorm Sandy caused catastrophic property damage in Suffolk County in the Fall of
2012. Many homes were either destroyed or severely damaged by the high winds, rains

and flooding associated with Superstorm Sandy. Superstorm Sandy struck the Town
after assessment rolls were prepared; as a result, property owners who experienced
substantial damage to their homes and businesses were required to pay their normal
property tax bill in 2013. The State of New York has enacted legislation which addresses
this inequity by authorizing local governments to grant assessment relief to Superstorm
Sandy victims whose properties were substantially damaged or destroyed. The Town of
Southold was included in the Federal Disaster Declaration of Superstorm Sandy and,
therefore, is eligible to extend assessment relief to its residents. As such, the Town Board
believes it is fair and equitable to provide relief to residents who saw their properties
damaged or destroyed and their lives upended by Superstorm Sandy.
Therefore, the purpose of this local law is to elect to provide assessment relief to persons
substantially impacted by Superstorm Sandy as authorized by the "Superstorm Sandy
Assessment Relief Act", enacted by the New York State Legislature as Chapter 424 of
the 2013 Laws of the State of New York.

subdivision 3 of Section 550 of the Real Property Tax Law. If the error appears
on a tax roll, the tax roll shall be corrected in the manner provided by Section 554
of the Real Property Tax Law or a refund or credit of taxes shall be granted in the
manner provided by Sections 556 or 556-b of the Real Property Tax Law. If the
error appears on a final assessment roll but not on a tax roll such final assessment
roll shall be corrected in the manner prescribed by Section 553 of the Real
Property Tax Law.
$245-24. Applicability.
This law shall apply to the impacted assessment roll as that term is defined in the Relief
Act and this local law.
II. SEVERABILITV
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law

November 19, 2013
PATRICIA MCINTYRE: Hi. I am Patricia McIntyre from the New Suffolk Waterfront fund. I
think most of you know we had some severe damage with Sandy and I saw, things that I read so
far said it was based on the FEMA assessment. We have an assessment from the small business
administration, I assume that would be the equivalent.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Let me just ask those, that is, the property you are referring to
owned by New Suffolk Waterfront Fund?
MS. MCINTYRE: Correct.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would that be tax exempt parcel?
TOWN ASSESSOR ROBERT SCOTT: Ninety percent.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Ninety percent exempt.
MS. MCINTYRE: We don't get any Sandy relief?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: This....
TOWN ASSESSOR SCOTT: We have to look at it case by case.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes and it would be really basically, it is actually a unique
exemption in that it offers a retroactive effect. Most exemptions only go forward but I would
urge you to sit down with the assessor's and determine how much you might qualify for.
MS. MCINTYRE: Excellent. Thank you for your help.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. Would anybody else like to address this particular local law?

in the Federal Disaster Declaration of Superstorm Sandy and, therefore, is eligible to extend assessment
relief to its residents. As such, the Town Board believes it is fair and equitable to provide relief to
residents who saw their properties damaged or destroyed and their lives upended by Superstorm Sandy.
Therefore, the purpose of this local law is to elect to provide assessment relief to persons substantially
impacted by Superstorm Sandy as authorized by the "Superstorm Sandy Assessment Relief Act",

1. Purpose.
Superstorm Sandy caused catastrophic property damage in Suffolk County in the
Fall of 2012. Many homes were either destroyed or severely damaged by the high
winds, rains and flooding associated with Superstorm Sandy. Superstorm Sandy
• struck the Town after assessment rolls were prepared; as a result, property owners
who experienced substantial damage to their homes and businesses were required
to pay their normal property tax bill in 2013. The State of New York has enacted
legislation which addresses this inequity by authorizing local governments to
grant assessment relief to Superstorm Sandy victims whose properties were
substantially damaged or destroyed. The Town of Southold was included in the
Federal Disaster Declaration of Superstorm Sandy and, therefore, is eligible to
extend assessment relief to its residents. As such, the Town Board believes it is
fair and equitable to provide relief to residents who saw their properties damaged
or destroyed and their lives upended by Superstorm Sandy.
Therefore, the purpose of this local law is to elect to provide assessment relief to
persons substantially impacted by Superstorm Sandy as authorized by the
"Superstorm Sandy Assessment Relief Act", enacted by the New York State
