The Lansdowne-based Landmark Legal Foundation, headed by conservative talk show host Mark Levin, will be exempt from local taxes after all.

The organization was among 21 community nonprofits proposed for real estate and personal property tax exemptions. During a Nov. 12 public hearing on the applications, Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) asked whether the nonprofits seeking exemption actually helped Loudoun residents or were just based in the county.

That angered Levin, a Loudoun resident, who later upbraided Reid on his nationally syndicated radio talk show and Landmark withdrew its application for exemption. Landmark paid $8,979.85 in real estate and personal property taxes in 2013, and $8,607.11 this year.

But County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) last week moved to add Landmark, which employs five people in Loudoun, back to the list of nonprofits seeking tax exemption.

And supervisors supported York, voting 4-3-1-1 in favor of the action. Reid and Supervisors Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) and Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) were the dissenters, Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) abstained, and Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) was absent from last week’s meeting.

The Board of Supervisors earlier this year lifted a longstanding moratorium on granting local tax exemptions, agreeing to consider applications for up to a total 2014 limit of $5.25 million.


There are ALWAYS ways around unlawful taxes with the right strategy.
