Exhibit 469 ยท Court opinion
Walz v. Tax Commission, 397 U.S. 664
Elimination of exemption would tend to expand the involvement of government by giving rise to tax valuation of church property, tax liens, tax foreclosures, and the direct confrontations and conflicts that follow in the train of those legal processes.
Upholds property-tax exemption for houses of worship; 'benevolent neutrality'; elimination would increase entanglement.
