Tax Exempt Churches in Manhattan Face Scrutiny
Edward S. Avery highlights that Manhattan churches receive over 2.4 million yearly in city tax exemptions plus other tax relief tied to church real estate. He notes no city or state audit proves churches’ public benefit for exemptions and lists many tax exempt properties valued at 200,000 dollars or more across Trinity Church to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and others. The piece questions whether exemptions match actual charitable work and cites The City Record as the full list source.
