Why this document matters

A designation only counts if it is in writing, in advance, by board action. It can never be retroactive — a mid-year designation applies to future pay only.

This resolution designates a cash housing allowance for a minister who owns or rents. Church-provided parsonages work differently — this tool doesn't cover parsonages yet.

About your church and minister

As it should appear on the resolution.

What period does this designation cover?

In dollars, for the year — e.g. 18000 or 18,000.50.

One more guardrail: the total designated allowance (plus other pay) cannot be more than reasonable compensation for the minister's services. This matters most when a large share of pay is designated as housing — a good question for your tax professional.
