What We Do

CPTR specializes in working with community groups, elected officials, and interested citizens to explore whether adjustments to local property taxes – in particular the adoption of two-rate or land value tax systems – can help stabilize revenue streams, reduce burdens on low income residents and small businesses, and help reverse the effects of urban sprawl.

As part of our efforts we typically:

• Obtain and (if not already available) create GIS maps of local tax assessment data
• Run multiple quantitative analyses to identify optimal tax strategies in light of local needs and resources
• Produce professional reports and accompanying figures, suitable for use in educational and advocacy-related efforts
• Provide professional, non-partisan advice and consultations based on our analytical results
