Historic preservation is an issue of growing importance and public
commitment. Federal and state mechanisms have been established to
identify and support historic buildings/sites, while local
governments have been active in supporting and protecting historic
resources. Communities across the country have established
designation programs whereby individual buildings or districts of
historical-architectural significance are accorded landmark status.
Designation activity has been accompanied by growing interest in
other local incentives/disincentives to the support of historic
buildings. In this regard, the property tax is viewed as either a
possible powerful drawback to or a catalyst of preservation. This
study examines the relationship between historic preservation and
the property tax, focusing on the question of how designated
buildings should be assessed for real taxation purposes. Listokin
focuses on New York City in considering the effects of historic
status on property value and in evaluating assessment practices.
But this book's findings are transferrable to other communities
because the base conditions are similar. Many other cities have
designation programs modeled on New York City's. In addition, New
York's property-tax system and administrative processes resemble
those found in communities across the nation. To enhance the
transferability of this study's findings, Listokin refers to the
national experience and literature, typically on a side-by-side
basis with the New York City counterpart.
