Protecting Your District Against Tax-Exemption Requests by Retirement Communities
Session Locations
About This Program
A 2007 decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court dramatically changed the previously-approved rules on whether retirement communities are exempt from real estate taxes. There is much at stake financially for Pennsylvania school districts. You do not need to capitulate to demands for tax exempt status! This webcast will explain the legal requirements for tax exempt status, and how a school district can help preserve (or possibly even expand) its tax base with regard to retirement communities. Learn about:
• How the 2007 Supreme Court decision changed the landscape on tax exemptions for retirement communities.
• The test for a “purely public charity” under the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Purely Public Charities Act.
• Strategies to help school districts fend off tax exemption demands, or to at least enhance your negotiating leverage for PILOT agreements.
• Possible conversion of currently tax-exempt nursing homes to taxable status.
Speakers:
Howard L. Kelin and Denise E. Elliott, of Kegel Kelin Almy & Grimm LLP in Lancaster
George Longridge, PRSBA, Business Manager, Elizabethtown Area SD
