Housing for Actors and Theater Staff Deemed Tax-Exempt

The Fourth Department determined that the petitioner had demonstrated its property, which was used to house actors and staff for seasonal theaters and generated no income, met the criteria for tax-exempt property under Real Property Tax Law 420-a:

According to [the] director, the housing of actors and staff together promotes countless hours of volunteer work in the form of “running lines together, discussing creative ideas, working on wardrobes, [and] creating sets,” all of which further the purposes and mission of petitioner. That director also averred that the properties are not open to the public and create no income for petitioner. …. [W]e note that housing used to further an exempt purpose has been found tax exempt in numerous other contexts… .  Matter of Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, Inc. v Assessor of City of Auburn, et al, 268, CA 12-01797, 4th Dept. 3-22-13
