The property tax is unpopular among both scholars and taxpayers, yet many scholars have proposed ideas to rehabilitate this tax and its role in local public finance. Based on a 2000 Lincoln Institute conference, this book reviews the economics of local property taxation and examines its policy implications. The chapters are written in a nontechnical form for policy makers and other noneconomists.

"Wallace Oates has assembled a top-notch group of local public finance experts to address a topic of perennial interest: the local property tax. Though subject to controversy throughout its history, the property tax continues to be a major revenue source for U.S. local governments. This volume both clarifies the controversies and goes a long way toward justifying ongoing reliance on this important source of local revenue."
Wallace E. Oates was Distinguished University Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Maryland.
