Be Prepared - The Tax Man Cometh

Training

Start: 07/15/2009 - 8:00am

End: 07/15/2009 - 10:00am

While recent legislation did permanently exempt low-income housing owned by nonprofits from paying property taxes, the same exemption does not apply to non-housing property owned by nonprofits.

What exactly does that mean? Well, if you are a nonprofit and you own a building and lease space to another nonprofit or for-profit tenants - you may be subject to paying real estate taxes in 2009.

What you need to do NOW is prepare your organization for understanding the tax assessment on your property - and how you can work with the city assessor if you have questions or if you elect to challenge the assessment.

You also need to understand what you can do to meet the "rent-use" restrictions so that your property may qualify for tax-exemption in 2010.

On Wednesday, July 15, Forward Community Investments will host a workshop designed to help you navigate your way through this maze of assessments and leases.
