<div dir="ltr">Our municipality is gradually reducing the rates of tax
exemption it offers to all non-profits. I’m interested in hearing from other
museums/historical societies who own their own land and pay some or all of their property taxes. Are
you under Class 6: Business & Other (where most societies are put) or has
anybody been able to be put under Class 8: Recreation & Non-Profit? (See image below about class 8). We’ve been told that our museum doesn’t fit class 8 as it is not used solely as an outdoor recreational facility (despite the fact that we do have equipment displayed outdoors on part of the property). My email address is below.<div class="gmail_quote"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">
