I was recently invited to speak at a city council meeting of Burlington, VT. Two researchers gave a presentation on Land Value Tax and recommended that the city council should consider moving towards this policy. I briefly spoke in support and offered to make myself available for any assistance should the city want to move forward.

The vibe was generally pretty positive, and the city councilors seemed interested. The Center For Property Tax reform was mentioned as a potential partner for a study.

This market resolves YES if the city of Burlington, VT, winds up commissioning a study on LVT or split-rate property tax before the end of 2023.
