Title
Substitute resolution cancelling real estate taxes levied against a certain parcel, 9524 W. Good Hope Road, on the 2009 tax roll.
Analysis
This resolution cancels 2009 property taxes, plus delinquent interest and penalties, for the property at 9524 W. Good Hope Road owned by Jerusalem Empowered African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Body
Whereas, On December 3, 2008, Jerusalem Empowered African Methodist Episcopal Church purchased the property at 9524 W. Good Hope Road (tax key no. 1099994210-0) from King of Kings Lutheran Church; and
Whereas, The warranty deed for this transaction was recorded on January 12, 2009; and
Whereas, Because it already had non-profit status with the State of Wisconsin, Jerusalem Empowered was unaware that it needed to file for property-tax-exempt status for this property with the City of Milwaukee and, therefore, failed to meet the statutory deadline (March 1) to obtain tax-exempt status for the 2009 tax year; and
Whereas, The Common Council finds that Jerusalem Empowered African Methodist Episcopal Church is a religious and benevolent organization which should not be subject to property taxation on its church building and should not be required to pay 2009 property taxes based on a technicality; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the proper City officials are directed to cancel the 2009 property taxes, plus delinquent interest and penalties, for tax key no. 10999943210-0 (9524 W. Good Hope Road); and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper city officers are authorized and directed to reflect the reduction in State Tax Credits as shown in this file by means of journal entries, charging the 2011 Remission of Taxes Fund, 0001 Org 9990 Program 0001 Sub-class S163 Account 006300, and crediting the State Tax Credit Fund.
