The tax on immovable property has been characterized as probably the most unpopular among tax instruments, in part because it is salient and hard to avoid. But economists continue to emphasize the virtues of the property tax owing to its relatively low efficieny costs, benign impact on growth, and high score on fairness. It is, therefore, generally considered to be underutilized in most countries. This paper takes stock of the arguments for using real property taxation, and presents an updated data-set for high-and middle income countries to illustrate its use. It also reflects the renewed and widespread interest in property tax reform globally, and discusses the many policy and administrative issues that must be carefully considered as prerequisites for successful property tax reform.

This report examines the various types of taxable property and explains the mechanics of how property taxes are levied. It also examines various types of property and examines how states classify property and how they apply different assessment ratios. Even though the property tax is largely a local tax, state law provides the power to impose it. In addition, state legislatures develop property tax policies that have major effects on local governments' ability to raise revenue and provide services.--Publisher's description.
