Do churches pay property tax?

Churches, in many jurisdictions, are granted property tax exemptions due to their non-profit and religious status. From bookkeeping view, while commercial entities would categorize property tax under “fixed expenses” in their ledgers, churches often don’t need to account for such costs. This unique financial position emphasizes the importance of specialized virtual bookkeeping services tailored for non-profits. Understanding specific bookkeeping terms and exclusions, like property tax exemptions, ensures accurate and compliant financial records for religious institutions.
