Transcript text: If established for charity and nonprofit, hospitals are NOT subject to real estate taxes.
Solution
Answer
The answer is True
Explanation
Option 1: True
Hospitals that are established as charitable and nonprofit organizations are often exempt from paying real estate taxes. This is because they are considered to be providing a public benefit by offering medical services to the community, often at reduced or no cost to those in need. The tax-exempt status is intended to support their mission of serving the public good.
Option 2: False
If a hospital is not established as a charitable or nonprofit organization, or if it does not meet the specific criteria set by local or state laws for tax exemption, it may be subject to real estate taxes. However, the question specifies that the hospital is established for charity and nonprofit purposes, which typically qualifies it for tax exemption.
