Program Summary

Existing law exempts nonprofit organizations from property tax on their real property. However, if the real property is used to secure rent or income for an activity other than that for which the exemption was granted, the property will be assessed and taxed. However, D.C. Act 26-145, established that buildings or grounds used for solar energy generation, energy storage, solar energy management activities that comply with Energy Star guidelines, or electric vehicle charging are exempt from this treatment.
