Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

This church property entity is 501C3 and has been tax exempt for many years. This is a 

domestic nonprofit corporation since 1929. The property functions as a church, was 

build as such and is operating as such. The property has been erronously classified as 

commercial and has been taxed accordingly. Our church pastor is a veteran and the 

church congregation was severely dissimated by the COVID-19 pandemic and attrition. 

The resulted paperwork could not be completed and filed in a timely manner due to 

government mandated shutdowns to stay at home. We are in a financial hardship and 

borrowed money to pay the assesed delinquent taxes and must repay the loans we 

borrowed. The commercial tax assessment precludes our operation as a religious 

organization and hinders our ability to serve this community with religious morality and 

community service.
