In a county with a population of more than 3.3 million, all real and personal property owned by a nonprofit corporation, as defined by Section 22.001, Business Organizations Code, organized exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes, and held for use in promoting agriculture, supporting Texas youth and providing educational support within the community is exempt from all ad valorem taxation.
