Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation explores the interaction of tax and land use policies in the U.S. The first essay, Exclusionary Fiscal Zoning and Residential Housing Density, explores the hypotheses that local generation of tax revenue encourages local governments to enact zoning policies that reduce the efficiency of land markets. The theoretical model predicts that heavy reliance on local income tax revenue by local governments will encourage strict large-lot fiscal zoning restrictions. Empirical results support the theoretical hypothesis for tax districts in Delaware County, Ohio. The second essay, The Effect of Use-Value Assessment on Land Use Change in Rural and Suburban Areas, explores the effects of preferential property tax treatment for agricultural uses. A survival model is employed to explain the timing of farmland conversion to urban uses. Preferential tax assessment is found to be effective at slowing farmland conversion in a rural Ohio township, but ineffective in a suburban township closer to Columbus, Ohio. The third essay, The Capitalization of Property Taxes into the Prices of High and Low-Value Homes, employs a hedonic model to test the impact of local property taxes and large-lot zoning on housing values. The empirical results show mixed evidence to support the hypothesis that property taxes have a more negative impact on high-value homes as compared to low-value homes. The results also show a price premium on homes with small lots. This premium may be explained by a zoning induced shortage of small-lot homes.

Book excerpt: This research studies the location of development within general purpose local governments that are overlapped by multiple independent school districts. The tested hypothesis is that local governments will be more permissive in granting development rights within its boundaries as their share of the school district's total area declines because the fiscal costs of student education are shared across communities outside the government's boundaries. Data is drawn from GIS satellite imagery on the development of land between 2001 and 2011 in Ohio. The preferred estimates employ a border discontinuity strategy that examines development intensity within 0.2 miles of school district boundaries inside government. The school district on the side of the boundary with the larger share of its land area coming from the general government was less likely to have experienced growth in development intensity by a substantive and statistically significant amount. Further investigation reveals that the effect is entirely driven by incorporated cities and villages, and there is no evidence of the phenomenon among unincorporated governments.

This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country, state and local governments are searching for ways to create vibrant communities that attract jobs, foster economic development, and are attractive places for people to live, work, and play. Increasingly, these governments are seeking more cost-effective strategies to install or maintain infrastructure, protect natural resources and the environment, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What many are discovering is that their own land development codes and ordinances are often getting in the way of achieving these goals. Fortunately, there is interest in tackling these challenges. As the nation's demographics change, markets shift, and interest in climate change, energy efficiency, public health, and natural resource protection expands, Americans have a real opportunity to create more environmentally sustainable communities. To address these issues, many local governments want to modify or replace their codes and ordinances so that future development and redevelopment will focus on creating complete neighborhoods-places where residents can walk to jobs and services, where choices exist for housing and transportation, where open space is preserved, and where climate change mitigation goals can be realized. Many local governments, however, lack the resources or expertise to make the specific regulatory changes that will create more sustainable communities. And for many, model codes or ordinances can be too general for practical use or are often designed to be adopted wholesale, which many communities are unprepared to do. The purpose of this document is to identify the most common code and ordinance barriers communities face and to suggest actions communities could take to improve their land development regulations.

Book excerpt: "Zoning has for a century enabled cities to chart their own course. It is a useful and popular institution, enabling homeowners to protect their main investment and provide safe neighborhoods. As home values have soared in recent years, however, this protection has accelerated to the degree that new housing development has become unreasonably difficult and costly. The widespread Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) syndrome is driven by voters’ excessive concern about their home values and creates barriers to growth that reach beyond individual communities. The barriers contribute to suburban sprawl, entrench income and racial segregation, retard regional immigration to the most productive cities, add to national wealth inequality, and slow the growth of the American economy. Some state, federal, and judicial interventions to control local zoning have done more harm than good. More effective approaches would moderate voters’ demand for local-land use regulation—by, for example, curtailing federal tax subsidies to owner-occupied housing"--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Are Community Nuisance Fiscal Zoning Arrangements Undermined by State Property Tax Reforms Evidence from Nuclear Power Plants and School Finance Equalization written by Justin M. Ross and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional view of fiscal zoning is that communities only make land use accommodations to Nuisance Entities who generate enough fiscal benefits to compensate for their other undesirable traits. By representing a disproportionate burden of the property tax base, this finance-for-location quid pro quo is often thought to be transmitted from the nuisance to the community in the form of reducing the property tax burden for the enfranchised residents. State tax reforms which redistribute property tax revenues have been accused by critics of violating these implicit arrangements between communities and nuisance entities. This paper tests this critique by examining communities with nuclear power plants sited before the school finance equalization reforms of the 1970's and 80's. A hedonic regression reveals that housing prices in communities with nuclear power plants were 11 percent lower than their immediate neighbors. Furthermore, it is discovered that communities experience a compensating increase in housing prices after a reform when their neighbor has a nuclear power plant. This is consistent with a model where resident home buyers bid on properties in a way that capitalizes interjurisdictional differences, implying that the reform had a disparate impact on the communities with the nuclear plants. Finally, the results do not seem to be conditional on whether the reforms were judicially or legislatively initiated.
