  • SPUR REPORT MAY 2025 Balancing Oakland’s Budget Sound Fiscal Policy Structural

    Oakland, CA
    Other

    This SPUR report from May 2025 analyzes Oakland's structural budget deficit and proposes nine recommendations to achieve fiscal solvency and economic growth. The report identifies a decades-long imbalance where revenue growth has not kept pace with rising pension, healthcare, insurance, and operational costs, exacerbated by post-pandemic challenges including labor shortages, decreased tax revenues from real estate, tourism, and retail sales, and a 78% disapproval rating of city government according to an Oakland Budget Advisory Commission survey. The analysis notes that Oakland's fiscal crisis mirrors broader challenges in comparable California cities including San Francisco and San José, and occurred against a backdrop of governance disruption following the former mayor's recall in November 2024 and subsequent federal indictment.

  • UNDERSTANDING REASSESSMENT What Is a County-Wide Reassessment?

    Lebanon, PA
    Other

    Lebanon County is conducting a county-wide real estate reassessment for the first time since 1972, after a 2008 court ruling determined that property values had become inconsistent and outdated, causing unfair tax burdens among property owners. The reassessment aims to establish current Fair Market Values and ensure uniform taxation across similar properties, with 21st Century Appraisals, Inc. contracted to conduct the process including property visits, data collection, new valuations, and appeals assistance. The document explains that reassessments are necessary because property values change over time at different rates across neighborhoods and property types, creating inequities in the tax system.
