Happy Festivus and I’ll Take the Property Tax Exemption Too
Posted: under Taxes.
Tags: Lake Bluff
The noted Seinfeldian holiday is honestly the first thing I thought about when I read this story about a Lake Bluff homeowner’s attempt to be exempt from property taxes by classifying his home as a church.
The homeowner signed up to be an ordained minister with Spirtual Humanism and drew a cross with marker on a photo of his home as proof that his home was a church. Interestingly, the state department of revenue initially approved the application before Lake Bluff challenged the exemption and it got overturned.
