EAST CONGREGATION OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES - REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF TAX EXEMPT STATUS FOR YEARS
1990, 1991, AND 1992: Mrs. Lois Troutman, Tax Assessor, explained the request. The church wishes
the board to allow them to file exempt status for 1990, 1991, and 1992. Mrs. Troutman says legally
the board can extend the listing period and allow the church to file the exempt status for 1992.
However, since the years 1990 and 1991 are not in the current calendar year, it cannot legally be
done.
Members of the church were present and asked to speak. Chairman Sloan said the board has
experienced these same circumstances with another church just recently. The county attorney has
checked on it and found that the county commissioners cannot legally waive taxes. Mr. Pope
addressed the legality of the situation and said it could not legally be done.
Commissioner Sara Haire said this was covered at the Institute of Government at the School for
New County Commissioners.
Van Stewart, a minister from the church, said they had inadvertently overlooked filing the tax
exempt status when they moved their church from one site to another.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to deny the request for retroactive listing for 1990 and '1991
