TRENTON, N.J. -- Government buildings, schools, churches and charities deprive the state of $90 billion a year in property taxes because of their exempt status, according to a new report calling for reforms.

The New Jersey Policy Perspective issued a report Tuesday seeking changes in the property-tax structure that exempted 13.5 percent of properties statewide in 2000, and more than 40 percent of properties in the cities of Newark, Trenton, Camden, New Brunswick and Orange. "
