Book Synopsis Property Taxes and Tax Revolts by : Arthur O'Sullivan
Download or read book Property Taxes and Tax Revolts written by Arthur O'Sullivan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Property tax revolts have occurred both in the United States and abroad. This book examines the causes and consequences of such revolts with a special focus on the California experience with Proposition 13. The work examines the consequences of property tax limitations for public finance with a detailed analysis of the tax system put into place in California. New theoretical approaches and new evidence from a comprehensive empirical study are used to highlight the equity and efficiency of property tax systems. Since property taxes are the primary source of revenue for local governments, the book compares and contrasts the experiences of several states with regard to the evolution of local government following property tax limitations. Finally, the book considers alternatives for reform and lessons to avoid future tax conflicts of this kind.

Book Synopsis Small Property Versus Big Government by : Clarence Y. H. Lo
Download or read book Small Property Versus Big Government written by Clarence Y. H. Lo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tax reformers, take note. Clarence Lo's investigation of California's Proposition 13 and other tax reduction bills is both a tribute and a warning to people who get "mad as hell" and try to do something about being pushed around by government. Homeowners in California, faced with impossible property tax bills in the 1970s, got mad and pushed back, starting an avalanche that swept tax limitation measures into state after state. What we learn is that, although the property tax was slashed, two-thirds of the benefits went to business owners rather than homeowners. How did a crusade launched by homeowning consumers seeking tax relief end up as a pro-business, supply-side political program? To trace the transformation, Lo uses the firsthand recollections of 120 activists in the movement, going back to the 1950s. He shows how their protests were ignored, until a suburban alliance of upper-middle-class property owners and business owners took charge. It was the program of that latter group, not the plight of the moderate-income homeowner, which inspired tax revolts across the nation and shaped the economic policies of the Reagan administration.

Book Synopsis The Property Tax, School Funding Dilemma by : Daphne A. Kenyon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States experiencing taxpayer revolts among homeowners are tempted to reduce reliance on the property tax to fund schools. But a more targeted approach can provide property tax relief and improve state funding for public education. This policy focus report includes a comprehensive review of recent research on both property tax and school funding, and summarizes case studies of seven states-- California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas. The majority of these states are heavily reliant on property tax revenues to fund schools. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, the report recommends addressing property taxes and school funding separately.

Book Synopsis Reforming Proposition 13 to Tax Land More and Buildings Less by : Kirk J. Stark
Download or read book Reforming Proposition 13 to Tax Land More and Buildings Less written by Kirk J. Stark and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates for reforming Proposition 13, California's historic property tax limitation initiative, typically emphasize the measure's implicit preference for owners of commercial and industrial property. Unlike most property tax regimes, Prop 13 assesses property at the owner's purchase price rather than the property's market value. In a rising real estate market, this “acquisition value” rule favors longtime owners relative to more recent purchasers. Reform advocates claim that, because commercial and industrial property changes ownership less frequently than residential property, Prop 13 has shifted tax burdens from commercial and industrial property owners to homeowners. To counter this trend, reformers advocate a “split roll” property tax in which commercial and industrial property would be regularly reassessed to market value.This article draws attention to a different and additional argument in favor of reforming Prop 13 to adopt a split roll regime. While most arguments for a split roll are rooted in fairness claims relating to the distribution of the property tax burden, this article highlights the efficiency gains from taxing commercial and industrial property at market value. These gains derive from the fact that the benefits of Prop 13's acquisition value rule accrue disproportionately to land rather than structures. Standard planning techniques utilized in the commercial-industrial setting (e.g., ownership of real estate by legal entities, long-term leases) operate to preserve low base year values for both land and structures. Over the long term, however, the physical and design limitations of aging structures will lead to new construction, which under Prop 13's rules will enter property tax rolls at market value. The result is a concentration of Prop 13's benefits in underassessed land. This observation leads to the important insight that any reform assessing non-residential property at market value would be, in large measure, a tax on post-1975 appreciation in land values. Current estimates suggest that two-thirds of the revenue gain from adopting a split roll would come from taxing land, arguably the most efficient source of tax revenue available. Coupling such a reform with a reduction in property tax burdens on new construction (for example, by exempting from tax for a period of years some percentage of the owner's investment in new construction) would further enhance the efficiency gains from adopting a split roll regime.
Book Synopsis The Legend of Proposition 13 by : Joel Fox
Download or read book The Legend of Proposition 13 written by Joel Fox and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proposition 13 was the greatest tax revolt in American history since the Boston Tea Party. In June 1978, Californians rose up behind a colorful, irascible, unlikely leader, 74-year-old Howard Jarvis, and turned the political world upside down. The first shot in the Reagan Revolution, the Proposition 13 tax revolt changed the world. Told by an insider, this is the story of the politics, odd tales and bizarre arguments that surround the fabled tax revolt from its success at the polls to its survival, despite constant attacks, 25 years later. It is the story of a legend in the making.
Book Synopsis Property Tax Limitations and Mobility by : Nada Wasi
Download or read book Property Tax Limitations and Mobility written by Nada Wasi and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Proposition 13, adopted by California voters in 1978, mandates a property tax rate of one percent, requires that properties be assessed at market value at the time of sale, and allows assessments to rise by no more than 2% per year until the next sale. In this paper, we examine how Prop 13 has affected the average tenure length of owners and renters in California versus in other states. We find that from 1970 to 2000, the average tenure length of owners and renters in California increased by 1.04 years and .79 years, respectively, relative to the comparison states. We also find substantial variation in the response to Prop 13, with African-American households responding more than households of other races and migrants responding more than native-born households. Among owner-occupiers, the response to Prop 13 increases sharply as the size of the subsidy rises. Homeowners living in inland California cities such as Bakersfield receive Prop 13 subsidies averaging only $110/year and their average tenure length increased by only .11 years in 2000, but owners living in coastal California cities receive Prop 13 subsidies averaging in the thousands of dollars and their average tenure length increased by 2 to 3 years"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education.

The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States.
