Ind. Gov't. - "County mulls appealing doctors' offices tax status"
Bill Dolan reports today in the NWI Times in a story that begins:
CROWN POINT | Lake County Assessor Paul Karras said the county may decide later this week whether to appeal a state ruling to exempt from taxation five doctors' offices and a chaplain's home associated with St. Margaret Mercy Healthcare Centers.The Indiana Board of Tax Review recently ruled in favor of the hospital's position that its charitable work with uninsured patients justifies the property tax exemptions for the physicians' offices.
The state board ruled the chaplain's home, located on the state line near the hospital campus in downtown Hammond, was exempt because the chaplain performed masses at the hospital.
