Nonprofit Property Tax Exemption
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
​
Property tax exemption is a complex issue. In many states, property tax exemption laws continue to change. Rules are applied on a county by county and assessor by assessor basis. Oftentimes, nonprofits attempt to file an application themselves but end up filing the wrong type of application. Another reason problems occur is because the application doesn’t make the case (it doesn’t say the right things). Many counties resist granting exemptions because it is lost revenue to the county and/or the school board. Therefore, the application must be presented well the first time or it might be denied.
