Best Answer

Nonprofit organizations who own property (real or personal) are responsible for property taxes unless they qualify for tax exempt status. Nonprofit organizations are not automatically assumed to have met the qualifications for tax exemption status in most states and must file information with local taxing authorities, who then determine their taxable status. Qualifying for nonprofit status under IRS section 501 (c)(3) does not automatically mean the organization qualifies for property tax exempt status in many states. In some states the nonprofit organization must own and occupy the property for which the exemption is sought (they can't use it for another purpose or lease it to others).
