Relating to school property

All properties (lands, buildings, rooms, et cetera) that are being used for
educational purposes (such as holding classes, students learning, school
function rooms) shall be subject to real property tax (is a levy on property that the
owner is required to pay. The tax is levied by the governing authority of the
jurisdiction in which the property is located; it may be paid to a national
government, a federated state, a county or geographical region, or a
municipality.)
Such real property tax will be based on 15% of the market value (the amount for
which something can be sold on a given market) of the property that the building
is found on.
