Are the churches in Florida exempt from paying property tax?

Generally churches are exempt from paying real (land and buildings) and personal property (equipment, cars, machinery, etc.) taxes in most states in the United States. Property tax laws are governed by the laws of each individual state, but most if not all states exempt qualifying religious organizations. The church would probably have to send an application for tax exempt status to the local assessor or tax collector in order to qualify. Your local assessor should have an inventory of all taxable and tax exempt property.
