Televangelist I.V. Hilliard founded New Light Church in 1984 and lives in the church-owned 24,939-square-foot mansion, which is part of an eight-residence housing compound.

In 2023, Harris County, Texas, appraised the New Light Church’s eight-house compound at $7,966,887.

By using the parsonage tax exemption, Hilliard and the other residents avoided paying an estimated $152,168 in property taxes.
