Taxes

Our library is supported by a school district tax levy. The levy provides the bulk of our annual budget.

We are an association library that receives about 75% of our operating budget from a tax levy approved by school district voters via a [New York State Education Law Section] 259 ball

A community member hosts a “free with donation” yoga class at our library, and attendees are encouraged to make a donation each class.

Our library gets taxpayer funding from its own line on a school district tax bill.

A local artist has asked for us to become a fiscal sponsor (act as a “pass-through” organization). Is this something a public library can do?

The library is chartered as a school district public library and thus exempt from NYS sales tax.

I found some information that may indicate that association libraries which charge patrons for faxes should collect sales tax.

I work at a special district public library, and we are not currently a 501(c)(3).

We are a school district public library planning a capital project. The question is whether or not the project has to be approved by a public vote.

Our museum has an item on long-term loan that is potentially pretty valuable--a 200-yr old document.
