§ 8561 Cemetery Property Assessment Exemptions

• •Special property like roads or walkways in cemeteries can't be charged extra fees for public improvements.
• •If someone owes money, their burial plot can't be taken to pay off that debt, but only up to a certain limit.
• •This rule has been in place since 1983.

A family buys a burial plot in a cemetery, and later, they fail to pay their credit card bills.

The credit card company can't take away the burial plot to pay the debt because it's protected by this law.
