I am the legal owner of a nonprofit organization which serves youth at risk of homelessness, juvenile delinquency, truancy etc. Currently, we have been granted daily use of the 2nd floor of a daycare center. A week ago, a local businessman donated a commercial store front to the youth organization. This building however is a distressed property in need of renovations and is behind in taxes. My question to you is can the nonprofit organization get those taxes forgiven by the city of Philadelphia or will the nonprofit be forced to come up with the funds to pay off the taxes? Please help me
It's certainly possible that the local taxing authorities can forgive the taxes. Best thing for you to do is ask the County, city and school district up front before you accept the property and the problem.
