TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – The Wabash Valley Family Sports Center (WVFSC) was denied an application for property tax exemption in 2017.
Now the Indiana Board of Tax Review says that the sports center’s cross country course is indeed a not for profit which means that they do not have to pay taxes on their property in eastern Vigo County.
Center leaders appealed twice. The last appeal was sent to the state Board of Tax Review.
That property includes the cross country course. It had been ruled in the past that the course was not tax exempt but other property was.
The center has paid taxes for the past three years but they won’t get that money back.
The course is home to many events for all school levels from middle school to college meets.
