What about a higher property tax if you are not living on the property for more than x days a year?
- Ccecil 5y agoThis is the only solution I think might work. Tax vacation rentals and empty properties at a higher rate...while allowing tax discounts for keeping rent low. Unfortunately, I think the crash will come first
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 5y agoEnforcement is the hardest issue with these proposals. I agree that when ignoring the problems of enforcement this is an ideal solution.
- jon_richards 5y agoGenuine question: Why is enforcement so difficult? Let everyone declare their primary residence and give property tax credits based on the number of occupants (with pass-throughs for rental properties, etc). Everyone has an incentive to declare a primary residence and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find people declaring multiple. You could cap the number of occupancy credits per sqft to keep things reasonable. It would also help with things like state taxes based on primary residence.
