The Delaware County Board of Assessment has ruled four municipal-owned properties that lease or rent space for private use should be taxed, writes Pete Bannan for the Daily Times.

The board ruled Monday that the Ridley Marina Complex and the Springfield Country Club Complex were taxable. The Delaware County Solid Waste Authority  Complex, and the Ridley Community Center, owned by the Ridley School District, are partially taxable and partially exempt.

The board has valued the Springfield Golf Club at $9,839,040. The property includes a hotel, a restaurant and a spa,

The Ridley Marina was valued at $1,987,230. It includes 97 boat docks and the Stingers Restaurant.

The Ridley Community Center was valued at $486,500 for a leased section. The Solid Waste Complex was valued at $182,625 for its leased section.

Parties have 30 days to appeal the assessment decision to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas.

The Solid Waste Authority will not appeal the decision.

Jim Byrne, Springfield Township solicitor and special solicitor for RIdley Township, said both townships will most likely appeal the ruling.

“They had no evidence at all,” said Byrne.
