As a small business owner should your corporation own your house so as to legally protect it and is the corporation owning it the only way that the business can pay association dues and property tax?

Your business corporation should NOT own your house. Such ownership would give your business creditors access to your home equity. Also keep in mind that you cannot create business deductions out of personal expenses merely by having your business own your personal property. On the other hand, if you do use personal property for business purposes, youi can rent such property to your business. You would then have to include such rent as personal income, complete a Schedule E tax form on your personal return, and claim such expenses against the income as the IRS allows. IN the case of a home, for example, if you use 25% of it for a business office or a carpentry shop, you would then be entitled to deduct 25% of the properties expenses against your rental income, including depreciation. It's complicated. Hire a local CPA.

What taxes does a distributor pay?
A distributor will pay taxes as would any other business. They would file the return based on the type of business they are legally. If a sole proprietorship, they would file a 1040 with a Schedule C for the business section. If a C Corporation, they would file a 1120 Corporate return. If a Subchapter S corporation, they will file 1120S. A partnership will file a form 1065 return. Their income is calculated as income minus cost of good sold minus expense will equal income.

How long after debit memo posts on your university of Phoenix account do you get your refund?
This varies not only from person to person, but school to school. I attend DeVry University online, once I have a credit balance (meaning they owe me money in excess of what was paid for tuition etc) in my account they legally have 14 "business" days to send out the refund. Note business days are Monday-Friday, so this is nearly 3 weeks.Most of the time I have noticed that they generally try to get it out sooner and the longest I've had to wait for a refund was about 7 days. But as I stated, they legally have 14 "business days" in which to refund any money due to you.
