I should start a church...
Jun 29, 2017, 1:23 PM
|

One of the houses on my street is owned by a local church, as far as I could tell the minister lived there. Since it is church owned, obviously property taxes = 0.
Well now they have a sign in the front yard that the house is for rent and I see the price is almost 3 grand/month. I'm going to take a wild guess that they won't have to pay rental income tax and the property will continue to have no property taxes.
What is the least amount of work I could do to pass the test of being a church? Can I just say my house is the church?

I've been wanting to start a cult...errr church for awhile now. Makes sense to have a location close to Atlanta. A lot more money down that way to pilfer. We'll call it New Light Redemption or something like that. I honestly think I could write a book fairly quickly to base our beliefs off of.

Tax laws vary from state to state...

and are variously applied, but in order for a property to qualify for exemption it generally must be used for church purposes not simply be owned by a church.

Dude, my county takes years to pick up on teardowns

to where people's property contiunes to be be assessed for under 300k when they bought a tear down/new build for 800k, so I really doubt that the county is going to figure out the property is being rented out and not for church use.

That's true of just about every county.

They work on very limited resources both in quality and quantity. I'm just saying that just because a property is owned by a church doesn't necessarily mean its exempt. We, our church, just went through a lot of hard ache after acquiring a property here and didn't apply for exemption and, bam! The locals not only assessed tax but slapped on a $5,000 a month penalty that added up as long as the issue was under appeal.

I pulled up property records, they haven't been paying

Which makes sense considering the minister lived there (I believe...I actually have no idea), so 2018 will be the true test but I'm 99% sure it will still be zero.
I understand counties have limited resources and people doing additions to their house are hard to pick up, but I would have to think it would be easy for them to run a list of new home purchase prices and compare to the old assessed values, especially when it's 500k apart in value
