Are Property Tax Caps Pushing Us Off a Fiscal Cliff?
In 2008, Indiana passed property tax caps that limit an owner’s property tax burden to a fixed percentage of the property’s gross assessed value. The full phase-in of these tax caps will take place in 2020 — an event described as a “fiscal cliff.”
Join the Community Forum for Economic Justice for an update on the issues caused by property tax caps. The budgets of all the taxing jurisdictions, including St. Joseph County, South Bend, Mishawaka, Transpo, libraries, and school corporations, have already been impacted, and will be impacted more in the next few years. A panel of experts and elected officials will explain how we might be affected and what we can do about it.
Panel:
John Murphy, City Controller, City of South Bend
Diana Hess, St. Joseph County Council Representative, District E;
Executive Director, Neighborhood Resources Connection
Joe Taylor, Indiana State Representative, District 7;
President, UAW Local 5
Moderator, Marty Wolfson, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Notre Dame
WHEN: Tuesday, May 16, 7 PM
WHERE: LaSalle Branch Library (3232 Ardmore Trail, SB)
