SJ(C?) loses appeal to city regarding property taxes

According to a Sitka Sentinel article published Tuesday, May 7, The City Assembly upheld an earlier decision by the City Assessor to levy property taxes on SJ(C?) property, assessed at a value of $17 million.

Back in January, the Assembly determined that SJ(C?) was no longer an educational institution, which had been the basis for its exempt status. As a result, the Assessor determined that SJ(C?) owed taxes and the former college appealed. The amount owed this year is just over $100k.

The Sage / Hatchery facility remains exempt.

SJ(C?) can appeal in Superior Court.

The City Assessor should get kudos for calling a spade a spade and the Assembly deserves kudos for backing up Mr. Corak.
