Property Tax Strains Local Governments Amid Population Boom
The property tax remains a heavy burden for U S local governments as urban populations rise. Tax receipts grew from 1932 to 1960 but reliance on the property tax fell from 75.1 percent of general revenue in 1932 to 55 percent in 1960. Debt increases surged from 9 million in 1932 to 4.2 billion in 1960, while cities with 100 000 to 200 000 residents rely on property tax for about 84 percent of revenue.
