ROCKLAND - Non-profit organizations own millions of dollars in property in the city but state law does not allow communities to tax those organizations.
A review by The Courier-Gazette of the proposed new valuations finds that the value of the non-profit holdings have increased this year along with those that are taxed.

Other than government, however, non-profit organizations such as museums, fraternal and civic groups, churches, and private schools own about $40 million in properties which, if taxed, would generate $600,000 annually to the city.

I get notices like that too, but they usually include offers of free all expense paid vacations to Leavenworth Kansas.
