Long story short. Looking at a property in Wash. DC that is a home attached to a church. Home is currently taxed as a commercial property - E1 religious. Because it's attached to the church though, it doesn't exist on a map and not zoned. Seller is selling church and is willing to sell the home separate. Need help with this from a tax lawyer or anyone that has experience with similar situation.

I'm not sure a tax attorney will be helpful. It doesn't matter how the property is taxed. Zoning is the most important factor. The zoning and lot size will determine if you can subdivide the property and create separate lots for the house and church. Also, land records may show if the property had previously been 2 separate lots that were combined into 1 lot.
