Recommendation and Review

Lamplighter, LLC owns 7.334 acres, more or less, with improvements, located at 1680 Country Club Road, city of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and designated as real estate tax map parcel 72-A-8.  Lamplighter, LLC was assessed for real estate taxes for this property for the tax years 2012 (2^nd half only), 2013, 2014 and 2015 and paid $55,260.86 for those years.  During that time, the property was leased to Shenandoah Valley Community Church d/b/a Valley Church (Church).  The Church and the landlord have now requested a refund of those taxes on the grounds that the property should have been exempt because it was leased by the Church during that time period.  .
