diplomatic or consular purposes, or for
the official business of an international
organization, is committed to the sole
discretion of the Department of State.
Such determinations are communicated
by letter from OFM to the relevant state,
county, municipal or territorial revenue
authorities.
• All such letters will be signed by
the Director of OFM’s Office of
Diplomatic Property, Tax, Services and
Benefits (OFM/PTSB), or a successor
office.
• Such letters serve as official notice
to the relevant state, county,
municipality, or territory that the
described property or transaction is or is
not entitled to an exemption from real
estate taxes on the basis of the
property’s authorized use for diplomatic
or consular purposes or for the official
business of an international
organization.
• States, counties, municipalities, and
territories are prohibited from extending
to a foreign mission or international
organization an exemption from real
estate taxes associated with a property
on the basis of the property’s authorized
use for diplomatic or consular purposes
or for the official business of the
international organization, except on the
basis of written authorization from
OFM.
• Conversely, on the basis of a letter
as described above, states, counties,
municipalities, and territories are
required to extend to a foreign mission
or international organization an
exemption from real estate taxes to
which OFM determines a foreign
mission or international organization is
entitled. If a state, county, municipality
or territory has concerns regarding the
extension of such exemption benefits, it
should raise the matter directly with
OFM.
• Unless otherwise determined by
OFM, the effective date of OFM’s
authorization of an exemption from real
estate taxes is the date the property deed
in question is signed or transferred.
• States, counties, municipalities, and
territories may establish additional
procedures to ensure the proper
extension of such exemption benefits,
provided that:
Æ such procedures, including the
establishment and use of any forms,
serve only to facilitate the state, county,
municipality, or territory’s extension of
exemption benefits to a foreign mission
or international organization and not as
a means to determine the foreign
mission’s or international organization’s
entitlement to the exemption benefit
associated with a property on the basis
of the property’s authorized use for
diplomatic or consular purposes or for

the official business of the international
organization, which determination is
committed to the sole discretion of the
Department of State; and
Æ the state, county, municipality, or
territory obtain written approval from
the Director of OFM/PTSB confirming
that the proposed procedural
requirements do not violate or infringe
on any benefits, privileges, or
immunities enjoyed by foreign missions
or international organizations.
Finally, I further determine that any
state or local laws to the contrary are
hereby preempted.
The exemption from real estate taxes
provided by this designation and
determination shall apply to taxes that
have been or will be assessed against
any foreign mission or international
organization with respect to property
subject to this determination and shall
nullify any existing tax liens with
respect to any covered property. This
determination shall not require the
refund of any taxes previously paid by
any foreign mission or international
organization regarding such property.
These actions are not exclusive and are
independent of alternative legal grounds
that support the tax exemption afforded
herein.
The actions taken in this Designation
and Determination are necessary to
facilitate relations between the United
States and foreign states, protect the
interests of the United States, adjust for
costs and procedures of obtaining
benefits for missions of the United
States abroad, and carry out the policy
set forth in 22 U.S.C. 4301(b).
This action supersedes the
Designation and Determination under
the Foreign Missions Act made by the
Deputy Secretary of State for
Management and Resources on June 23,
2009.
Dated: January 8, 2014.
Patrick F. Kennedy,
Under Secretary for Management.
