Oregon Tax Court Hearing for Mary Star of the Sea. Will Taxing Oregon Rectories be the norm?

In May, Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Astoria was denied tax exemption as a rectory.  On October 15th the church will go before the tax court.

Below is a link to the Oregon Tax Court calendar, the hearings are held in the Roberts Building on the corner of State Street and 12th in Salem, opposite Adam's Rib restaurant. Normally they are open to the public. The hearings start at nine o'clock.  Look up Mary Star of the Sea v. DOR (Department of Revenue).
