Failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection on a |
timely basis, including any extensions of time, results in a |
penalty equal to $25,000 or 10% of the taxes that would be |
imposed on the exempt property in the absence of the exemption, |
whichever is less, as long as the taxpayer complies with the |
provisions of this subsection by the October 1st following the |
April 1st exemption date or by the municipality's tax commitment |
date, whichever is earlier.__The penalty amount is treated as |
property taxes and must be paid to the municipality as such.__The |
assessor shall waive the penalty for good cause.__A failure to |
comply with the provisions of this subsection by the October 1st |
following the April 1st exemption date disqualifies the property |
involved from exemption for that tax year.__All notices and |
requests provided pursuant to this subsection must conspicuously |
state the consequences of the taxpayer's failure to respond to |
the notice or request in a timely manner. |
