Delinquent property tax enforcement is a powerful tool to interrupt the cycle of vacancy and decline. But in many places, delinquent property tax enforcement is inequitable, ineffective, and inefficient. In addition to being a massive impediment to rehabbing vacant properties, delinquent property tax enforcement often exploits the most vulnerable homeowners, replicating the unjust and racist history of displacing residents and eliminating generational wealth. And when delinquent property tax enforcement is used purely as a financial collection mechanism, governed by short-term budget needs, it can negatively impact a community’s future.
Hear from Kim Graziani, author of the recent tax enforcement publication from the Center for Community Progress, and Nneka N’namdi, a Baltimore community leader engaging those most impacted by exploitive enforcement processes.
