Abstract | This booklet summarizes the recent debate over the regressivity or progressivity of the property tax and presents some evidence on how the property tax burden is distributed among income classes. Section 1 discusses property tax incidence under both the conventional and new economic views. Discussed specifically are the conditions under which either landlords or businesses can shift property tax liabilities to renters and consumers. The section ends with a short discussion of studies of property tax incidence based on both the conventional and new views. Section 2 presents the results of recent studies of property tax incidence under alternative assumptions of incidence in four states--Connecticut, Minnesota, Missouri, and South Dakota. Section 3 presents a short summary of the study and discusses its implications for future state property tax policies. The study's primary finding was that the property tax was regressive for low-income families under both the conventional and new views of the property tax. (Author/JG) |
