Hello all,
Be sure you note the difference between "taxes" and "assessments".
Assessments in a geographical location for specific upgrades to a road, or
street lights, or sewers, etc., may be made to every property, whether
cemetery or not. Cemeteries may be taken for non-payment of assessments.
Check the local laws.
