Board approves exemptions for Crossnet Ministries, Katartizo and multiple Chestnut Housing parcels
Summary
On July 8, 2026 the Lancaster County Board of Assessment Appeals approved tax exemptions for Crossnet Ministries (100 W. Franklin St.), Katartizo (144 W. Main St.) and several Chestnut Housing parcels in Lancaster City; exemptions take effect in the 2027 County and Municipal tax years and the 2027–2028 school tax year.
The Lancaster County Board of Assessment Appeals approved property tax exemptions for three nonprofit or housing-related properties during its July 8, 2026 meeting. Chandra Mast moved to approve an exemption for Crossnet Ministries at 100 W. Franklin St. in New Holland (parcel 480-99666-0000); Richard Boas Jr. seconded the motion, which passed. The board also approved an exemption for Katartizo at 144 W. Main St. in Mountville (parcel 470-75751-0-0000) after the borough approved the property's use.
The board voted to exempt multiple Chestnut Housing parcels in Lancaster City (listed in the minutes as parcels 338-8664, 337-69791, 336-10332, 336-14839, 336-62811 and 332-69906). All three approvals were recorded as effective beginning with the 2027 County and Municipal tax years and the 2027–2028 school tax year; the board also ordered exoneration of the 2026–2027 school tax for the listed parcels. Deputy Director John Tierney also reported that King’s Estate Holdings LLC's attorney requested withdrawal of an exemption request for 447 Noble Rd., Sadsbury Township (parcel 550-00882-0-0000).
The approvals were presented as motions on the agenda and recorded as "Motion passed" in the official minutes. The actions will change the tax status of the specified parcels beginning with the 2027 tax cycle and remove the listed 2026–2027 school tax liabilities per the board's exoneration entries.
