If the assessor determines that a property is not entitled to an exemption under this subchapter, the assessor shall provide a written notice of denial prior to the tax commitment date in that municipality, including the reasons for the denial, to the applicant by either personal delivery or certified mail. An applicant may contest a denial by the assessor of an exemption under this subchapter either by using the procedures provided in subchapter 8 or by pursuing such other actions or proceedings by which other property tax exemptions under this chapter may be reviewed or adjudicated. If the assessor determines that a property receiving an exemption under this subchapter in any year within the 3 preceding years was not eligible for the exemption, the assessor shall immediately notify the bureau in writing.   [PL 2005, c. 623, §1 (NEW).]
