August, 2007 GRAVEL AND SHEA OBTAINS RULING DECLARING FRATERNITY EXEMPT FROM PROPERTY TAXHeather Rider Hammond and Ross Feldmann recently obtained a favorable ruling from Judge Ben Joseph in a tax dispute with the City of Burlington. The City alleged that Gravel and Shea's client, a fraternity at the University of Vermont, owed property taxes despite a statute exempting fraternities from having to pay property tax. Ms. Hammond and Mr. Feldmann successfully argued that the exemption does not include an implied use component and defended against the City's claim that the property – which was being renovated – was merely being held for investment purposes.
