Description: This book reviews the role of the property tax, addresses the reasons behind its poor performance in practice, and critiques the conventional wisdom in academic literature on the subject. It also suggests ways for government officials to achieve greater voter confidence and more robust property tax systems through key policy and administrative reforms.
Review Quotes: "The essays in this volume provide a valuable and much-needed reappraisal of property taxation in both industrialized and developing nations. They offer a road map for policy reform and for further research on the property tax."--Wallace Oates, Professor of Economics and Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland
