Charities and religious groups that are seeking an exemption from property taxes before the start of the fiscal year can file a Preliminary Consideration Form. There are two options:
Before you get started by mail
We make forms available in April and they are generally due by July 31. For Fiscal Year 2025, forms are due August 1, 2024.
When applying, an organization will need to give us additional information about the organization and the property, such as the articles of organization, trust, and by-laws as examples.
