Board denies exemption for Ephrata Business Center properties in Ephrata Borough
Summary
The Lancaster County Board of Assessment Appeals denied exemption requests for three Ephrata Business Center properties on West Main Street, keeping the parcels on the local tax rolls.
The Lancaster County Board of Assessment Appeals voted on May 13 to deny exemption requests for three properties owned by Ephrata Business Center at 400 West Main St., Ephrata Borough (parcel numbers 260-65162-0-0000, 260-91678-0-0000, 260-83980-0-0000).
Board Member Chandra Mast moved to deny the exemption requests; Chairman Lowell Fry seconded the motion. The minutes record the motion as passed and list the three parcel numbers. The denial means the parcels will remain subject to school, county and municipal levies for the applicable tax years.
The minutes do not provide a detailed rationale for the denial or a recorded roll-call vote; they record only that a motion to deny was made and that "Motion to deny is passed." The board did not indicate any immediate follow-up actions in the minutes.
