Church property's tax status questioned

A church in Moravia was surprised to receive a tax bill in September on its vacant parsonage.

Assessed at $140,000, it was put back on the tax roll after the assessor determined there was a change in the organization's tax-exempt status with the parsonage being vacant for about a year and a half.

Doug Weed, New Hope Mills Bible Fellowship member and son of its former pastor, questioned the tax bill at the Moravia Town Board last month.
