In December 2010, a city task force released a report that called on certain non-profits to pay their fair share of property taxes. Nonprofits are exempted from the obligation to pay property taxes under a law that was passed in 1830. (That's not a typo!) This latest city report called for certain non-profits to gradually increase their payments over a five year period, after allowing for a 'community benefits reduction' and a few other offsets.
