To clarify that property exempt from township special assessments (property taxes) levied to pay for police and fire services only includes property that is exempt from regular property taxes, and which is not subject to a “specific tax.” These “specific taxes” are a mechanism used to grant property tax breaks to selected businesses, and are generally half the rate of regular property taxes. Religious establishments would be among the handful of properties exempt from these special assessment taxes.
