Join us in congratulating one of our newest CPFOs, Jon Grover. Jon is finance manager for the City of Hillsboro, Oregon. He started his CPFO journey looking to round out his knowledge and experience in the core disciplines of public finance. He says the knowledge gained has already had a significant impact. "My training helped guide our team towards financing nontaxable projects and cashflow taxable ones, which will likely save significant interest expense."

Thank you Barrett and Greene Inc. for your discussion with Shayne on Rethinking Property Taxes. Our new research highlights providing accurate and fair valuation of tax liability and stable predictable costs to taxpayers. Watch Shayne’s interview and then read the report at https://lnkd.in/efRyBnJR #gfoa #localgov #propertytaxes
According to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), Property taxes are the most important local source of revenue for local governments. They are “stable, transparent, and highly visible. Plus, the tax base is immobile. "Yet it is also an unpopular tax." A brief video by Barrett and Greene Inc. of the GFOA's senior manager of research, Shayne Kavanagh reveals some interesting possibilities for rehabilitating the property tax system in order to optimize revenues while avoiding "tax revolts." One example from the video: "Do property census more often. . . if you assess property taxes yearly, you have less opportunity for the real value of the property to deviate substantially from the assessed value of the property.” See the full video at: https://lnkd.in/ejJHAbaW Chris Morrill Mike Mucha Katie Ludwig Christopher Berry Fritz Kaegi, CFA Scott Smith Joe Minicozzi David Brunori Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Michael A.
