Pastors' parsonage exemption: What would televangelists pay if their mansions weren’t tax exempt?

By Trinity Foundation

Peter Popoff

Televangelist Peter Popoff’s Word for the World Church owns a parsonage in Bradbury, California, which is for sale at $7.3 million.

Because of the parsonage tax exemption, Popoff saves approximately $39,000 in property taxes.

In 1986, Popoff was busted in an exposé that aired on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" which revealed that information Popoff claimed to receive from God was actually transmitted to him by his wife via a radio earpiece.
