Syracuse Webinar Series on Property Tax Administration and Design

This webinar series aims to gather insight and scholarship through domestic and international comparative studies with common threads to help reform and improve property tax administration and design in the U.S. and other countries facing similar problems.

We invite prominent and promising scholars with cutting edge research on property tax administration and design, including (but not limited to) the following:

1. new explorations in the theory of property taxation;
2. empirical (and theoretical) study of property assessment cycle;
3. empirical (and theoretical) study of optimal size of property assessing units;
4. analytical frameworks of statutory exemptions of property value;
5. state-local jurisdiction in property taxation and;
6. impact of changes in federal deduction of local taxes on the ability and willingness of property owners to pay the property tax. 

In academic year 2022-2023, the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago will join the Maxwell School in sponsoring and running the Webinar Series. The series name will change to “Syracuse-Chicago Webinar Series on Property Tax Administration and Design.” The schedule for the Fall 2022 season will be announced in July.
