Lancaster,Lancaster County,Pennsylvania 2007

Asked by the city to determine if LVT was a candidate for implementation, CSE had to recommend against a traditional LVT shift due to wildly varying land and building assessments, over-assessment of poor neighborhoods relationally to richer suburban townships, and problematic land values for newer "big box" commercial development. Outcome: LVT is not a good choice for the city at this time. The valuation data needs more study, preferably through mapping. The county's assessments must be challenged on ground of uniformity, equity and accuracy.
