### Tax Exemption Affidavit for Nonprofit Organizations

Nonprofit organizations with 501(c) status often qualify for valuable property tax exemptions at the state and local level—but securing those exemptions requires clear, compliant documentation for county assessors and tax authorities. This **Tax Exemption Affidavit template** is designed specifically for nonprofits applying for property tax relief, ensuring you capture all the information assessors need in a format that's easy to complete, review and submit.

#### Built for nonprofit administrators and board members

Whether you're a nonprofit director, finance officer, or board treasurer, this template walks you through the sworn statement process with structured fields for IRS determination letters, charitable purpose narratives, board member rosters and property use details. The form ensures compliance with county assessor requirements while maintaining a professional, organized presentation.

#### What makes this template work

This affidavit template collects essential documentation including 501(c) status proof, detailed descriptions of charitable activities, current board member information with contact details, property descriptions, and sworn declarations. Conditional logic adapts questions based on organization type and property use, while file upload fields make it simple to attach IRS letters, financial statements and supporting documentation.

Because Paperform lets you customize every field, heading and description, you can adjust the template to match your county's specific requirements or add state-mandated language without starting from scratch.

Once your affidavit is submitted, Paperform's **Stepper** workflow automation can route the completed form to your board chair for review, notify your accountant, store signed affidavits in Google Drive or Dropbox, and even trigger follow-up reminders for annual renewal filings. This keeps your tax exemption documentation organized and ensures deadlines are never missed.

For affidavits requiring formal signatures, **Papersign** lets you send the completed form for legally binding eSignatures from board officers or authorized signatories, creating a complete audit trail that satisfies assessor and IRS record-keeping requirements.
