Denial of Property Tax Refunds by Director of Tax Commission Was Not Final—Article 78 Claims Not Ripe for Judicial Review

The Second Department determined the Article 78 proceedings seeking property tax refunds were not ripe for judicial review because the denial of the refunds by the Director of the county Tax Commission was not final:

…[T]he Supreme Court properly determined that his claims seeking CPLR article 78 relief relating to his tax refund applications were not ripe for judicial review. Administrative determinations may only be challenged via CPLR article 78 review after the determination is final (see CPLR 7801[1]). “For a challenge to administrative action to be ripe, the administrative action sought to be reviewed must be final, and the anticipated harm caused by the action must be direct and immediate” … . Moreover, a matter is not ripe where the claimed harm may be prevented or significantly ameliorated by further administrative action … . Here, the issuance of written recommendations by the Executive Director of the Westchester County Tax Commission was not a final approval or denial of the appellant’s tax refund applications (see RPTL 5565])… . Matter of Greenberg v Assessor of Town of Scarsdale, 2014 NY Slip Op 07160, 2nd Dept 10-22-14
