Title
Consider approving real estate tax exemption and personal property tax exemption status for Strength in Peers, Inc.; real estate tax exemption and personal property tax exemption status for Shenandoah Valley Black Heritage Project, Inc.; and personal property tax exemption status for Our Community Place
Body
Presented By: Karen Rose, Commissioner of the Revenue
Recommendation and Review
The Constitution of Virginia allows for specific local tax exemption. Prior to January 1, 2003, the General Assembly passed bills exempting an organization from local taxation and as of January 1, 2003, local elected officials were given the authority to make the determination. Harrisonburg City Code §4-2-17 addresses local real and personal property exemption. Strength in Peers, Inc., Shenandoah Valley Black Heritage Project, Inc. and Our Community Place are requesting exemption under this code.
