Commencing with the tax list of October 1, 2012, the Town of
Suffield exempts from taxation any real property or portion thereof
leased to a charitable, religious or nonprofit organization which
organization is exempt from taxation for federal income tax purposes,
provided such property or portion thereof is used exclusively for
the purposes of such charitable, religious or nonprofit organization.
Any real property owner who wishes to claim said exemption must file
a written application with the Assessor's office prior to the
completion of the Assessor's duties relevant to the first year
of exemption, except in the initial year of enactment of this article,
when such time limitation shall not apply. Such exemption shall remain
in effect until the property is transferred or the organization no
longer leases said property.
