WASHINGTON (P) Mid -western
and western alatea have taken the
lead over other sections In the move
ment seeking to encour&ce home con
struction through easing of the tax
burden on real and tangible property,
With national attention now con
centrated on the new federal home
building program, the entire property
tax, problem probably will figure
prominently In the fall elections ox
many states,
The tax burden always Is an lm
portant Item, to be considered before
building a home, and numerous or
ganizations of property owners and
the National Aasoclatlon of Real Es
tate Boards contend the levy on real
estate now la so high It discourages
construction of homes. ..
A survey of the local and stat
taxation committee of the association
of real estate board shows seven
states have over-all limitation on
property taxes, either by law or by
constitution; 21 states have statutory
or. constitutional limits on real es
tate taxes; eight have no real estate
tax for state purposes; while six have
no limitation of any kind on the
amount of taxes which may be levied
Bgtdnst real eutatp for state, muni
cipal or county purposea.
The committee's report said un
usual activity in the mid-western and
western states looking toward trim
ming down on taxes on real property.
The findings Included:
Oregon: Initiative petition now in
circulation for constitutional amend
ment. Amendment designed to re
duce over-all limit successively over
period of years until per cent
limitation fixed In 1040.
Washington: Active campaign to
reenact statutory 40 mill limitation
(on 50 per cent valuation). Hope Urn
to establish principle of limitation
eventually making It constitutional.
