Further, we are incorporated in North Carolina as a non-profit organization. We are a non-sectarian, non-denominational, membership-based spiritual organization whose purpose is to help establish and spread eternal religion. Our goal is to be and help others become good human beings. Membership in this organization is open to all irrespective of gender, ethnicity, language, religion, or country of origin. We chose to locate at Efland in Orange County as we were warmly welcomed by the county officials and felt at home given the area's friendliness and its riot diversity. We purchased the piece of property at 3514 West Ten Road on August 2014, 2010 and used the tree-filled land to periodically meet for prayer meetings even without a building. We Completed construction of the prayer retreat towards the end July 2012. We have since met regularly every weekend and at select other times,to conduct our church/temple service. We had applied for exemption from county real-estate tax as a church late during the 2012 tax year. But we were told that since the building construction was completed in July we will have to wait for the tax year 2013 to qualify for the real estate tax exemption. We were just not aware that we will have to apply again and will have to do so during the month of January. This was an inadvertent and unintended error on our part for which we beg for forgiveness and also request exemption. There is a significant difference between the tax burden which we could absorb last year with great difficulty given we had just completed new construction. The present tax amount will cripple our finances(given the existing large mortgage payment) and detract us for the purpose for which this retreat was built. Your kind consideration of our appeal for exemption is our prayer today. We will again remain grateful to you and to Orange County for your friendliness, understanding, and many generous accommodations. Again, thank you. With kindest regards, Bijoy K.
