The Village of Amityville has agreed to refund $48,000 to Walgreens after the drugstore chain said it was overcharged on property taxes from 2003 through 2014.
Village attorney Richard Handler called the settlement a “fine resolution” to a tax case after the chain claimed it was overcharged by about $150,000.
Under the settlement, the Walgreens property at 275 Broadway will be assessed at $4,298,000, down from about $4.9 million.
The 2014-2015 village budget set aside $250,000 for similar tax settlements.
