Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing

Principal Residence Exemption

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

We are appealing the removal of the Principal Residence Exemption from the parsonage because this property serves as the primary residence for our pastor. He has 

lived there as his main home and it will continue to be his primary residence for the duration of his service. As the parsonage is exclusively used for clergy housing, 

we believe it fully qualifies for the exemption and that the PRE should be reinstated accordingly.

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

List the year(s) denied:

2026

Indicate who denied the exemption under appeal:

County 

If you checked “other” above, explain:

List the date the Principal Residence Exemption or Qualified Agricultural Exemption was denied:

11-5-2025

Fee Information

A fee of $25.00 is required for the filing of this appeal unless you possess a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% at the time of the filing of this petition.
