How much is too much property tax?

| July 4, 2024 1:00 AM

How much property tax is fair for a 100% church-owned, non-profit assisted living facility?

Luther Park has paid $1.5 million in property taxes over the last 10 years. Efforts to appeal the property tax in the previous five years have successfully reduced taxes from $184,000 in 2019 to $94,000 in 2023. While we appreciate the reduction, we are still paying $93,000 more than our closest local competitor, which has approximately one-half the beds. 

On a per-resident basis, each resident is paying $1,400 per year, while our closest competitor is paying $25 per year per resident. Local tax authorities have refused to compare Luther Park against other similar facilities.
