Hello all, Be sure you note the difference between "taxes" and "assessments". Assessments in a geographical location for specific upgrades to a road, or street lights, or sewers, etc., may be made to every property, whether cemetery or not. Cemeteries may be taken for non-payment of assessments. Check the local laws.
