Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action brought by Lutheran Home, Inc. pursuant to K.S.A. 79-2005 to recover ad valorem real property taxes paid under protest. The basis of the claim is that plaintiff's property is used exclusively for charitable and benevolent purposes and therefore is exempt from taxation. Plaintiff's property consists of a tract of land on which is situated a nursing home owned and operated by the plaintiff corporation. The defendants are the board of county commissioners of Dickinson County, other county officials and the director of property valuation of the State of Kansas. In addition to the recovery of taxes plaintiff sought a judgment of the district court determining that the property in question is used exclusively for charitable and benevolent purposes and directing that the property be removed from the tax rolls of Dickinson County and that no future assessments or levies be made or taxes collected on the property as long as the property is used for such purpose. The district court granted judgment in favor of the plaintiff, holding that the plaintiff was entitled to the exemption claimed. The defendants have appealed to this court. The facts in this case are not in dispute. Lutheran Home is a nonprofit corporation, organized and chartered under the laws of Kansas. Although its name may indicate otherwise, Lutheran Home is not affiliated with nor supported nor regulated by any religious body. The corporation was formed in January 1967 by Ervin E. Biehler, his wife Lillian, and Fred M. Thompson, who were the three incorporators.
