Question

A local church was seeking relief from property taxes in florida. it is a nonprofit organization that only holds religious services and does not run a school or gymnasium. the church elders make a request from the county and city where the church is located. what is likely to happen?

Answer 1

Some properties, such as those owned by religious organizations or governments are completely exempt from paying property taxes. Churches that meet the requirements of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are automatically considered tax exempt and are not required to apply for and obtain recognition of exempt status from the IRS.
