Hello All,
I just now registered for this site! I am the owner of Here Comes the Sun Childcare Center located in a Church in Mn. We are for profit. We opened in 2008 and are licensed for 50 children. Three years ago I was givin a bill by the church secretary for $4000 which was for property tax. On our original lease we are required to pay 10% of our monthly income for rent which is anywhere from $1000-$1800 per month. Well 3 years ago we were givin this bill which by the way was addressed to the church that we were responsible to pay the bill. At that time I asked if I could attend the next Church board meeting to discuss this bill. At meeting I asked if we could split the bill since we are both profiting from my business. Well the answer was no because if my daycare wasn't there there would be no bill. Since then the property tax is at almost $4500/year! In 2008 right before we moved in the Church was bankrupt and about to close for good. Since we moved in, we've provided new church members and $$ to help them. I've seen pastors's and board members come and go yet I'm still there. They don't respect us or our belongings, yet their stuff is off limits. I could go on and on. My question is, are we responsible for paying the property tax even though the bill is addressed to them? Any help in this matter would be a blessing! Thank You. I'm also so glad to find this site!
