Damage to a Place of Worship is a 3rd degree felony regardless of amount.

• A. Public park
• B. Place of Worship
• C. School
• D. Private residence

Answer: (B)

Some crimes have fixed penalties based on the type of location involved, not on the dollar value of the damage. Here, the statute treats damaging a place of worship as a 3rd-degree felony regardless of how much damage occurs. That means once the property damaged is identified as a place of worship, the charge is automatically a third-degree felony, even if the damage is minimal.

The other locations listed would be scored under different property-damage rules where the penalty typically depends on the amount of damage or other factors, so they don’t carry the automatic third-degree felony designation that applies to places of worship.
