A new report says changing the property tax system would benefit Cincinnati residents by shifting more of the tax burden to vacant and underdeveloped lots.
The report is a joint effort from the Student Policy Network at the University of Notre Dame and the Center for Land Economics based in Washington, D.C.
And it considers a proposal for a split rate tax that would have a higher rate for land and a lower rate for buildings.
