Nonprofit Property Tax Exemption Attorney In California

In California, charitable tax-exempt organizations are eligible to receive property tax exemptions from having to pay taxes on their real property—even if the organization is renting. There are three types of property tax exemptions which include a Church Exemption, Religious Exemption, and Welfare Exemption. Different rules apply to each type or application, but all require exclusive use of the property for charitable purposes. However, even for qualifying organizations that utilize or rent out their space for non-charitable purposes, the portion of the property that is for exclusive use qualifies for the exemption.
