If accepted, the 9 application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before 10 the taxable status date established for such roll. 11 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to 12 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for 13 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon 14 approval by the town of Sweden legislature, may make appropriate 15 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such 16 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the 17 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in 18 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and 19 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining 20 unpaid. 21 § 2.
