Dear Claimant:
Your organization was allowed the Religious Exemption for 2025 on all or a portion of its property. The Religious Exemption ONLY is available only to property which is owned by a church and used exclusively for religious worship (church), or religious worship including a school. Property used for school purposes only, where there are no church services, does not qualify for the Religious Exemption but may qualify for the Welfare Exemption. Leased real property is not eligible for the Religious Actual Exemption unless the owner of the leased property is also a religious organization and conducts religious worship activities (church services and/or school purposes) on the property, in which case both the owner and the operator must file for the Religious Exemption. Leased personal property is eligible for the Religious Exemption if the personal property is used exclusively forreligious purposes. Under a one-time filing rule or requirement, theforReligious Exemption will remain in effect until the property is sold or all or a part of the property is used for activities that are outside the scope of the Religious Exemption.
