Courser Community Center (background) | first heard about the Facebook site “SAVE THE BLANCHARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL” in 2019. As time went on-the membership grew and grew until it reached over 500 members.(see cover sheet) | joined and agreed with them that they had a solid plan in order to SAVE the school | attended in the 1960's. October 25, 2016 The school and four city blocks had been sold to a Greg & Brenda Schankin for $12,000 October 25, 2016 and was TAX EXEMPT for no reason that anyone could or would talk about. They were receiving over $300 per month by CMS Internet for allowing CMS to place a tower at the school. ary 16, 2020 | contacted the leaders of the “Save the School” group (Kim Smith. Tina Murray and Renee Chapman) and decided to buy the school and donate it to them for their idea of having a community center. | was able to buy it for $45,000 (plus fees of apx. $4,000). |insisted that they set up a 501C3 for tax reasons on my attorney’s advice. My closing was on January 16, 2020. December 12, 2024 was the actual date that | was finally able to sign the deed over to “THE COURSER COMMUNITY CENTER”. They had been doing a lot of work (see enclosed pictures) in and around the building plus: estimates for repairs, getting donations, having meetings for residents, many fund raising activities, etc., etc., etc. They did contact the assessor about the “tax exempt” property
Page 5
to give them the deed. We also received the Winter 2024 ($2080.88 paid late $2349.55) tax bill and the Summer tax bill in 2024 ($715.77) We also received the Winter tax bill ($2128.87) due before | was able to get the deed to them. We all thought we were operating under the tax exempt status! Now here’s the problem — The total amount of our funds (donations, can drives, meals, etc.) was $10,248.90. The total property taxes were $5862.52. Liability insurance was over $1100.00 per year. Electric bills, dumpsters ($400 each x 4) — we cleared out all the asbestos as recommended by the hazardous inspection company. We also discovered that the Gym roof needed replacement ($52,000) and the Rubber roof at over $125,000. We sure could have used that extra tax money! I did find out that Blanchard (the assessor and the Rolland Township Board) showed no help. There had been a number of break ins prior to my purchase, BUT there were at least five more since 1 boughtitin 2020. Kim even caught three high school age kids and the police got there in time to catch them, but the Prosecutor’s office declined to follow through. They did over $30,000 in damage that time.

ANSWER: We always felt that the Township (board) was against us. We never had any of the 5 board members join the “SAVE THE BLANCHARD ELEMETRY SCHOOL” OR MAKE DONATIONS! We always had it open for anyone to play basketball, field games, etc. LOOK AT THE ENCLOSED PICTURES! 3. “The 2023 non-exempt status was not appealed.” ANSWER: Our fault —no one knew about this process! 4. “Since 2021 the building has fallen into even more disrepair and there has been little or no movement to make it usable.” ANSWER: Three local teens were arrested for causing over $30,000 in damages. Gym was being used and we had many, many volunteers working inside (see pictures). We spent days and days filling dumpsters with debris 5. “The organization has not been occupying or using the building for their charitable mission and cannot predict when the situation will change”.

It was for $1,000,000 (google it if you don’t believe me). . “The TOWNSHIP decided to continue assessing the parcel on the 2024 roll”. ANSWER: Thanks. We decided to sell the school buildings and use the old baseball field once we are able to obtain a grant. FINAL: We still expect to receive a refund of all the taxes that we paid that should have been exempt from or not even charged in the first place.

DICKINSON WRIGHT Michigan Property Tax Exemption for Charitable Institutions Is Again Construed Broadly by the State Supreme Court October 2017 Industry Alerts Want to get our alerts? Click “Subscribe Now” to get attorney insights on the latest developments in a range of services and industries. SUBSCRIBE NOW Executive Summary Property owned and occupied by charitable institutions solely for their charitable purposes is exempt from Michigan property tax. Some assessors denied exemptions to charities that charged fees for their services, arguing that they were acting like a business. In 2006, the Michigan Supreme Court clarified the rules cancerning the exemption for charities and reaffirmed that a charity may charge for its services and that there no required monetary threshold of charity required. If the “overall nature” of the institution is charitable, the entity can qualify as a charity regardless of how much money it devotes to charitable activities in a particular year. The Court provided six guidelines for determining whether an entity is a charity. The third guideline was that the entity not discriminate among those intends to be served. Some assessors and the tax tribunal construed that as requiring that applicants for the charitable exemption not discriminate based on ability to pay. By this logic, while a charity could charge for services, it would be required to offer free or subsidized services to those who could not afford the charge. Admissions or other
Page 12
«cannot pay the charges. The decision is potentially helpful to all charities that charge for their services. The Statutory Exemption MCL 21.70(1) provides Michigan's property tax exemption for charities as follows: Real or personal property owned and occupied by a nonprofit charitable institution while occupied by that nonprofit charitable institution solely for the purposes for which that nonprofit charitable institution was incorporated is exempt from the collection of taxes under this act. The Lead case, Wexford, Provided Six Guidelines for a Chartable Institution Following a review of earlier decisions, the Court provided six guidelines for determining whether an entity is a charitable institution for purposes of the property tax exemption: 1. A “charitable institution” must be a nonprofit institution. 2. A “charitable institution” is one that is organized chiefly, if not solely, for charity. 3. A “charitable institution” does not offer its charity on a discriminatory basis by choosing who, among the group it purports to serve, deserves the services. Rather, a “charitable institution” serves any person who needs the particular type of charity being offered. 4. A “charitable institution” brings people’s minds or hearts under the influence of education or religion; relieves peoples bodies from disease, suffering, or constraint; assists people to establish themselves for life; erects or maintains public buildings or works; or otherwise lessens the burdens of government. 5. A “charitable institution” can charge for its services as long as the charges are not more than what is needed for its successful maintenance. 6. A “charitable institution” need not meet any monetary threshold of charity to merit the charitable institution exemption; rather, if the overall nature of the institution is charitable, it is a “charitable institution” regardless of how much money it devotes to charitable activities in a particular year. Wexford Med Group v City of Cadillac, 474 Mich 192, 215 (2006)

leave to appeal and in lieu of granting leave to appeal vacated the decision and remanded. Tax Tribunal and the Court of Appeals had construed the anti-discrimination requirement as requiring exemption applicants make their services available without regard to ability to pay. While a fee could be charged to those who could afford it, the exemption applicant could not turn away someone who could not afford to pay. To do so discriminated among those intended to be served by the organization's charity. Applying that logic, organizations would have to consider applicants for their services on a first come first serve basis regardless of ability to pay. While acknowledging that the wording of its Wexford decision could lead to that conclusion, the Court rejected that conclusion, as unsustainable, and inconsistent with the other guidelines. The court held that any analysis of fees should be undertaken under the fifth test, not the discrimination test. The Wexford discrimination test is intended to exclude organizations that discriminate by imposing purposeless restrictions on the beneficiaries of the charity - restrictions that bear no reasonable relationship to an organization's legitimate charitable goals. The legitimate goals of a charity are stated in test four. The “reasonable relationship” test should be construed quite broadly to prevent unnecessarily limiting the restrictions a charity may choose to place on its services. Thus Baruch’s requirement that an individual be a resident and make 24 monthly payments before being accepted into its charitable Income Based Program would violate the third Wexford test only if that restriction were not reasonably related to a permissible charitable goal under factor four. Because the Tax Tribunal and the Court of Appeals decisions were based on an incorrect understanding of Wexford factor three, the Court vacated those portions of the opinions discussing the third factor and remanded this case to the Tax Tribunal for further proceedings. On August 22, 2017, the parties stipulated that the third test was met because the restriction requiring 24 months of paid service was reasonably related to the charitable purpose of the organization. The Tribunal entered a judgment on August 29, 2017. (Baruch, supra, MTT No. 13-001360-TT.) The decision in Baruch is helpful to charitable institutions that charge fees for their services.
