Memphis, Tennessee, home sellers and the Shelby County assessor are
banding together to slow outside investors that are making home
ownership increasingly difficult for Mid-South families. On top of that,
Zillow reports year-to-year Memphis home values up 23%. Shelby County
resident Susie Lynch wants to change this trend — on her terms.
“People are struggling and they are trying to plan a future and they
don't know what it’s going to be,” Lynch said. When she puts her house
on the market soon, there’s one condition: it must go to a local family
and not an outside investor. “People that are going to enjoy it and
raise their kids in it and be proud to own it,” she said. Read more

Fundamental economics tells us that home price growth and income growth
are interwoven. Neither can outrun the other for very long. That is
what’s concerning about the pandemic’s housing boom: Over the past year,
home price growth (20.6%) is four times greater than income growth
(4.8%).

New York’s most generous property tax break could bite the dust
For
those who want to see New York City revive and thrive, the impending
demise of the 421a housing-construction abatement, known by its section
of state law, may seem like a blow. The annual $1.8 billion property-tax
break, the city’s most lucrative, has enabled the construction of
thousands of income-restricted “affordable” units.
The majority of the city’s new residential development since 2013 (and
28% of affordable units) has made use of it. But after 50 years, the
subsidy looks to be at the end of the line in Albany. Read more

Code of Ethics changes, new enforcement section focus of June 15 webinar
Changes to the IAAO Code of Ethics and a new enforcement section will
be the topic of an IAAO webinar from 11 to 11:30 a.m. Central, June 15,
presented by President Wade Patterson and Ethics Committee Chair Bruce
Woodzell.
The online presentation will review the work by the committee, outside
legal counsel, and IAAO, and the expected impact on members. Register here
In 2021, the Ethics Committee completed updates to several parts of the
Code of Ethics. The new enforcement section to the IAAO Code of Ethics
was developed by the Ethics Committee and reviewed by the Governance
Committee and was recently approved by the Board of Directors. The
enforcement section outlines the process to file a complaint, the
alleged violation evaluation process, potential sanctions, publication
of sanctions, and the appeals and reinstatement process.
June IAAO webinar: Valuation of Solar Farms
Property Tax Assessment of Solar Farms in Indiana will be the subject
of an IAAO webinar in late June. The webinar, from noon-1:30 p.m.
Central on Wednesday, June 29, will review how solar energy is a rapidly
growing industry with a short history.
This makes solar property valuation challenging. Solar development also
presents challenging considerations for local government officials.
With enough information and a goal of fair treatment of solar
properties, appraisers and officials can be ready to face these
challenges head on. The webinar will be presented by Bradley Berkemeier
of the Nexus Group and is eligible for 1 CEU hour. Register here

Think land values are high? Minnesota says county should have gone higher
While
taxpayers across Crow Wing County continue to digest an average 35%
spike in residential and seasonal property values, the state says the
county didn’t go high enough in some cases. Read more
“If someone is going on holidays and lets out their home for a couple
of weeks or lets out their room, that shouldn’t be an issue, but the
idea that we have a situation where we have multiples of short terms
lets versus long terms in all our major cities is not a sustainable
situation,” said Darrah O’Brien, Ireland’s minister for housing, local
government, and Heritage of Ireland. Read more

Opinion: Fritz Kaegi finally fixed Cook County’s broken property tax system
I’ve never been impressed with any of Illinois’ politicians but Fritz
Kaegi, the Cook County Assessor since 2018, is the exception to that
rule. He inherited a seriously broken system from former Assessor Joe
Berrios and has completely turned it around.
I believe the end result will be extremely good news for Chicago
homeowners who need to note that this guy is on the primary ballot on
June 28. Read more
