Land Value Tax Legislation Tracker

Many of the bills listed below are enablement legislation designed to allow cities to adopt a Land Value Tax framework. Pennsylvania already has city authority to use split-rate and land-focused property tax structures. Maryland also allows cities to do this, but counties currently cannot, and current Maryland bills concern broader statewide enablement.
