Rabbinical college wins decision vs. Ramapo over tax exempt status
A state appeals court has declared that the 130-acre property in Pomona owned by Congregation Rabbinical College of Tartikov is exempt from property taxes, reversing a decision made by a lower court.
The Appellate Division of state Supreme Court overturned a ruling made by state Supreme Court Justice John La Cava.
In 2007, Ramapo rejected Tartikov's request of a tax-exemption status for the property, where the religious organization announced plans to build a rabbinical college and housing for students.
The property off Routes 202 and 306 has been used for a summer camp operated by a private company before Tartikov purchased it from the Yeshiva of Spring Valley.
Tartikov sued the town, arguing that it was entitled to the same exemption granted to the Yeshiva of Spring Valley.
La Cava in April 2009 supported the town's decision, and Tartikov filed an appeal.
The Appellate Division last week reversed the lower court's decision, saying that the summer camp operation was consistent with Tartikov's intention to build a religious college there.
