Estate owner wants to avoid $33,000 tax bill by making home a church: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Estate owner wants to avoid $33,000 tax bill by making home a church: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Longtime neighborhood activist Sonny Irons spent the past two decades building his $1.4 million waterside estate in Fort Lauderdale, but now he argues it's really a church and he shouldn't have to pay $33,000 in property taxes this year.

Irons styles himself as the priest and presiding overseer of the Seafarer's Church of the Creator and says he serves as pastor to about 15 people each Sunday in the gated 4,900-square-foot house where a pair of yachts rent dock space. Broward County Property Appraiser Lori Parrish calls it a 'tax dodge' and fears more homeowners will claim tax-exempt status as a church if Irons succeeds."
