Land-Based Financing
The Lincoln Institute promotes the use of a well-functioning property tax and other land-based financing tools like land value return (often referred to as land value capture) through multiple lines of work. We research when and how to use land-based financing for infrastructure, services, and affordable housing so policymakers have empirical evidence to make informed decisions. We educate practitioners and policymakers about the legal frameworks, mechanics, and outcomes of land-based financing approaches. We also provide on-the-ground assistance for communities to efficiently and equitably implement land-based financing strategies.
