New Jersey’s Tax Exempt Property

January 1st, 2009 by kaseyborrayogpo

BRIEF HISTORY

Generally, prior to 1900 New Jersey local tax assessors seldom entered a complete list of tax exempt property located within their municipality on their tax rolls. Why should they, nobody would ever think about levying a property tax on governmental, educational, church or other property used for charitable purposes. It made little sense to those early property tax assessors to spend Crown Ducal China Dinnerware resources to find, list and value such tax exempt property. Why, taxing government and other tax exempt property owners that served fundamentally public rather than private interests would be just taking publics money from one pocket and putting it in the other pocket, right?

Tax exemption cases brought before the New Jersey Courts after 1900 show many questionable property tax exemption claims were filed by not for profit entities. Assessors found that tax exempt property owners organized for charitable and religious purposes leased their tax exempt property rights to other for profit businesses. At the same time other educational institutions went way beyond the charges set forth in their charter’s provisions by including under their tax exemption umbrella such questionable property uses as polo fields for the use of their students and other private polo teams. With increasing complaints about the abuses of tax exempt claims some local tax assessors began to assess certain questionable educational, charitable and church property owners for property that was not being used strictly for their chartered tax exempt purposes.

Of course, these tax exempt property owners complained to their legislators in Trenton about the wrongs caused them by the local property tax assessor. Their government representatives in Trenton then started to provide some standards in the property tax law for the tax assessors to follow. So, for different uses of exempt property, presumably based on the worthiness to society of a particular property’s use, the law specified different standards. School buildings for example had to be actually used for their intended purpose, while buildings for the work of churches had to be actually and exclusively used for religious purposes, etc. Then County Boards of Taxation and the State Courts had to begin settling disputes over what those terms meant in actual application.

Today, the property tax exemption battle continues. Should your church be able to build a large building to lease to a For Profit Day Care Center and with the rent money pay off the building’s mortgage? Does a private school need a golf course for golfers who are not students when school is out so as to defray the expense of the golf course? These are the questions that local tax assessors, the courts and the government in Trenton struggles with daily.

GOLD MINE OR MINE FIELD

Prior to the Cahill Tax Policy Commission in 1973 other Tax Commissions created by the Legislature had looked solely into the legal status of tax exempt property in New Jersey and took extensive testimony concerning perceived tax exempt property abuses. Nevertheless, little could be done legislatively at that time because there was no Statewide tabulation of Exempt Property values in New Jersey and therefore the fiscal tax impact locally of changes in the law could not be weighed by the State Government decision makers.

To remedy that problem the Division of Taxation in 1971, at the request of the Cahill Tax Policy Commission took on the job of collecting over 100,000 exempt properties listed by Local Tax Assessors on their local Tax Exempt Lists. The submission of Governor Cahill’s Tax Policy Report to the legislature was delayed so that the Exempt Property Study could be completed because it was thought that such a list could contain the pot of gold needed to avert major new tax increases to pay for property tax relief. The study was finished and its results were reported in the ensuing Tax Policy Commission Report with recommendations that in large did not meet the political and social needs of the day for a new source of revenue for property tax relief.

However, while no new revenue source for property tax relief was found because of the Exempt Property Study, the large concentrations of exempt property found in certain cities and towns lead to the adoption of a State Aid Program called the PILOT Program which stood for “payments in lieu of taxes.” In essence, the State made payments to municipalities at the effective municipal purpose tax rate for certain properties owned by the State. Those Sate Aid payments over the years were seldom fully funded according to the formula set forth in the law because the program had its pay out level reduced by a fixed percentage for many State Budget years. Then the PILOT program was incorporated into the COMPTRA State aid program which in effect locked up both the property values used to calculate its funding along with the local effective municipal purposes tax rates used in the formula at a static level. That COMPTRA program consolidated more than a dozen State aid programs along with the PILOT program into one State Budget line item.

In 1985 the New Jersey Tax Assessment Study Commission looked into the Tax Exempt Property problem and determined that while exempt property owners paid a “ready and available fee” to their local water utility to use water up “on demand” and be billed for its usage those same exempt property owners did not pay their municipal governments for their public work departments or police departments to have those public servants and their equipment “ready and available” to meet the needs of the exempt property owners when required.

The Commission made estimates as to the amount of revenue that could be raised Statewide if such taxing authority was given to municipal governments by the Sate and recommended that the Legislature adopt such a law. Of course the Legislature acted swiftly to draft a legislative resolution stating that the Legislature had no knowledge of and in no way supported such a user fee on churches and other not for profit charitable and educational institutions.

LESSONS LEARNED AND THE FUTURE

Encourage local tax assessors to remain vigilant in granting tax exemptions to only those property owners who meet the letter of the law. Do not attempt to impose user fees on tax exempt property during sunlight hours in Trenton. Partisan Legislative staff should remind their legislators that the clergy can speak from the pulpit on Sunday about the foolish and wrong headed user fee proposals of legislators who suggest imposing user fees on churches and the November elections falls on a Tuesday only two short days from the Sunday sermon.

If history is any prediction of the future then New Jersey may see more State owned properties like the Garden State Art Center have its name leased out for a profit. Perhaps one day instead of the Atlantic City Expressway New Jersey will have the Trump Expressway or the Mack Truck Turnpike. It is even possible that one day New Jersey will sell its Sate House to a large corporation to raise needed revenues and then rent it back. Would that require more friendly Sate treatment of the corporate community, else eviction could ensue? Perhaps it really comes down to the public being vigilant watch dogs. Why not require the Division of Taxation to post on its web page a listing of Tax Exempt Property, by municipality, by ownership and by purpose? Property taxation is a battle, and the tax assessors in New Jersey need the support of the public to enforce the letter of the law.

A New Jersey Governor one day may sign a law permitting the sale, lease, or granting of naming rights on State Owned Property to raise money for some worthwhile State purpose. Such revenue could be used to pay off State Debt so as to free up cash for property tax relief. The payment streams from such activities could become a new source of annual State revenue. Once the State government adopted this new funding mechanism my guess is that the local municipal and county governments would follow suit soon thereafter. If State and Local governments keep doing the same fiscal things over and over and hoping to find new sources of revenue they will never be able to fully serve their citizens.

I also think it would be all right for the State to sell certain State owned property, so long as that sale did not jeopardize the future economic prosperity of the State or threaten the future safety of its people. For example, the sale of the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway would leave the business and people in New Jersey who depend on those vital arteries at the mercy of a profit driven corporation. However, the sale and lease back of a State warehouse would free up cash to pay off State debt that is eating into the State’s ability to provide vital services and provide property tax relief. The State might even sell a State property and use part of the proceeds to invest in other property that holds the potential to increase substantially in value in the future. My point is that State asset and debt management needs a higher viability than it now receives.

Biography: Gerald ‘Jerry’ Dowgin “The Property Tax Doctor” and the author of the Homeowner’s Assessment Review Guide (http://www.propertytaxdoctor.com) a former tax assessor worked in the field of public finance at the State and local levels in New Jersey for more than three decades until his retirement in 2001. As a Supervising Tax Analyst in the Office of Research and Statistics in the Division of Taxation in the New Jersey Department of Treasury he worked principally on local property tax issues. Then he joined the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) in 1983 and served as the Secretary to the New Jersey Property Tax Assessment Study Commission for four years. While working in the OLS, Local Government Section he researched, drafted, and estimated the cost of the Senior Property Tax Freeze Bill which was signed onto law and worked on legislation that became law that virtually stopped the tax assessment practice of “Spot Assessments” in New Jersey that had treated many property taxpayers unfairly.

Using Your Business Card As Advertisement

I know Apothecary Beverage Container am not the only person looking for cheap Old Pottery Barn In Ga easy ways to advertise so I thought would share this with you.

Everyday I process customer payments for the company I work for; I pay Nyc Apothecary of the company bills and audit/dispute all of the network bills from companies like Bellsouth, Sprint, MCI, Etc. A couple months ago I was processing the customer payments and I came across a regular payment from a Realtor. Not only did this realtor include the invoice and the check, but they Apothecary Jar For The Kitchen included their business card. It was a really nice business card that had a picture of the realtor’s, the companies logo, website, phone numbers and even their Kathy Handbags address. Every month since, I have received a business card with their payment. I wonder how this form of advertising has helped them?

I once read that Vera Bradley Pink Elephant Large Duffel a business owner you should leave your business card everywhere you go.

Hot Process Soap Making - Old Fashioned?

December 2nd, 2008 by kaseyborrayogpo

Most people involved in hobby soap making - and until recently I included myself in this group, think that hot process soap making is a) the old fashioned way to make soap, b) too time intensive, Chantewikins c) “there is obviously a reason why not many people do it that way any more.”

Then due to time pressures I decided: “what the heck, I’m gonna make a batch anyway”

You see with cold process soap making you have to make the soap, which takes an hour or two, then the following day you turn the soap out of the mold and - if you made a block, you cut it into bars. Then you have to find a cool dark place to store the twenty or so bars of soap for anything from two to six weeks until it has “cured”. Only then is saponification complete, resulting in usable soap.

By contrast, with the hot process, curing is carried out by cooking the soap mixture, this is great, it’s almost like having a time machine. Twenty to thirty minutes of extra time spent cooking the mixture and you have completely cured soap, once it has been placed into the mold and has cooled off, it is completely ready to use.

Quite aside from the vast improvement in time, there are several other benefits with this process.

Many cold process soap makers have experienced the frustration of having their expensive scent completely disappear after the curing period, this is because both essential and fragrance oils are, well, oils, which means that they can become part of the saponification process and when this happens the finished soap smells of nothing much really.

Similarly, some dyes are affected by saponification, I have heard tales of a lovely batch of pale blue soap becoming a dreary shade of gray by the time it has fully cured.

Hot process soap making nicely side-steps both of these issues, because the saponification process has been completed by the time the dye and scent is added, so nothing is lost.

So I have made my first batch, it looks and smells great and was ready the day after I made it, the time it took to make was only a little longer than I would normally spend making a cold process batch, without any of the storage and curing afterwards.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I can stand that sort of old fashioned!

Phishing Attacks Reach New Level

November 28th, 2008 by kaseyborrayogpo

The Georgia Institute of Technology has teamed up with Google to investigate how to counter new forms of phishing attacks by hackers. Hackers Vera Bradley Monogram Java Blue able to control users’ internet browsing by using Nutrisystem Locations “open recursive” DNS (Domain Name System) server. This type of attack is not new, although hackers have developed Gold Jewelry Wholesale technique that makes it almost Vera Bradley Trunk Shows by anti-virus and anti-phishing software.

A DNS server is an internet service that Scryer Apothecary domain names into a numerical internet protocol address. For example, users would type “google.com” into an internet browser and it would translate it to something that would look like this: “207.35.118,135″. The internet browser would then direct the user to the site.

DNS servers work together Apothecary Weights a network. If one DNS server can’t find the address it would Swarovski Purse Chain With Charm it to another one until the address is found. Unlike other DNS servers, open recursive DNS servers answer all DNS look-up requests from any computer on the internet. It is this feature that hackers use.

Google and the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered that there are over 17 million open recursive DNS servers. Most of these give accurate information, but 0.4% or 68,000 are giving users false addresses to phishing sites. The hackers are able to send users to phishing sites with the DNS.

Phishing sites are false sites set up by hackers. Hackers would create sites that look like the original and get users to give information such Egypt Scrapbook usernames, passwords and pin numbers. For example, they could copy an online bank site and get users to register and log in. The login information is sent to the hacker and he or she is able to use it to gain access to the user’s bank account. They trick users into entering their phishing site by sending a fake email. The email, for example, could be made to look as though it came from the user’s bank, asking them to login and update their details. The e-mail would then contain a link to the phishing site.

Hackers are using the open DNS system by targeting the user’s settings. The user would either open a virus infected attachment on an e-mail or a website with the virus embedded in it. The virus will exploit the user’s computer by changing just one file in Windows registry setting. The changed setting will allow the hacker to have complete control over the user’s browser.

If the virus is not stopped during the initial stages, it can go undetected for the rest of its existence. Users might believe that because they have anti-phishing software they can’t be infected. However, because the hacker is operating at DNS level, the anti-phishing software is rendered useless. Hackers would allow the user to browse normally, but would re-direct them suddenly Tulsa And Used Pottery Barn Furniture they tried to use online banking.

Google and the Georgia Institute of Technology are looking into developing a type of software that will counteract the hackers. They are also trying to create more awareness among all administrations to change their DNS servers. There is no real benefit from having an open-server. The Georgia Institute has marked phishing attacks as one of the top threats for 2008.

A Guide To Proper Nutrition For Puppies

November 27th, 2008 by kaseyborrayogpo

For most dogs, puppy hood lasts for about the first year of life. During this time, the puppy needs higher levels of minerals like calcium and phosphorus, protein, vitamins, and energy (Calories) than Babyphat Winter Outfits will as an adult. Foods fed to Drain Valve Air Compressor Parts growing dogs should contain these higher levels of nutrients.
