Board of Equalization approves religious tax exemption for Gospel Peace Church
Summary
The council, sitting as the board of equalization, approved a religious exemption for Gospel Peace Church (application and IRS documentation provided). Tax administration staff recommended approval after confirming the organization’s 501(c)(3) and subordinate relationship documents.
At a board of equalization session the council approved a religious property tax exemption application for Gospel Peace Church.
Diana Schafer, County Tax Administration Supervisor, walked the board through the application materials included in the packet — IRS documentation and a letter recognizing the church’s subordinate status — and confirmed the organization met the statutory requirements for religious exemption of the real and personal property at issue.
A council member moved to approve the exemption; the motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote. Staff and the clerk completed the signature page as part of the record.
