Imaging the Land Value Tax with Expanded Graphing and Charting

The City of Clairton, Pennsylvania has seen the most dramatic expansion of land value taxation in recent years. These samples of how the LVT outcomes "look" will be essential in persuading the citizens and government that they are on the right track in implementation of a progressive, fair and fiscally responsible tax policy. NEW: Images of Philadelphia and its Neighbrohoods. This is a preview of an ambitious project that will map LVT from various levels, form city-wide to individual parcels. The "Philadelphia: Realizing our Potential" Project will be launched in mid-October 2008.

What is the Land Value Tax Outcome for Residential Properties in Clairton, Pennsylvania? A large majority save, and the large majority save a significant amount.
Image Residential and Non-Residential: Who Owns Land Value?
Without a land value tax, the predominantly poor and elderly population of Clairton would bear a large burden of tax. By reducing the tax rate on buildings, the tax burden shifts to vacant and non-residential land values. Because so much residential value is in the building and not the land, the residential category sees lessened tax liability. Here, we illustrate the relative share of the land value assessment for the city.

Maps of some neighborhoods showing the result of the LVT shift away from buildings. The most at-risk neighborhoods see a shift away from tax to other areas and onto substandard and vacant properties. A preview of "Philadelphia: Realizing our Potential," an ongoing project that will help citizens and policy makers make good choices about land value tax and tax policy. The numbers assume a revenue-neutral outcome with 50% of revenue coming from land, and 50% from buildings.
