For
years, opponents of Wisconsin’s “dark store” method for taxing big-box
retailers worked in vain to persuade state lawmakers to change the law.

Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling expected later this year could stop
Walmart and other retailers from avoiding paying their fair share of

strategy of seeking judicial relief will backfire for the cities,
villages and towns that are taking on big business in the hopes of
increasing tax bases. Read more

Calls mount for Idaho legislature to examine property tax issues
As
concern from Idaho homeowners has swelled in recent years over soaring
property taxes, the Idaho Legislature both last year and the year before
appointed a committee of lawmakers from both parties and both houses to
look at possible fixes.
However, the joint panel focused largely on local government spending,
recommending successful legislation and state investment to increase the
tracking of local government expenditures. It didn’t recommend anything
to change the increasing share of the property tax burden that’s
falling on homeowners, compared with all other classes of property. Read more
More than 10% of residential dwellings are unoccupied in Australia ...
that’s more than a million houses sitting empty which could otherwise
have been available to homebuyers or tenants. With a national rental
vacancy rate of 1% and undersupply in various housing markets feeding
affordability issues, more people have warmed to the proposal of
imposing taxes on the owners of these ghost properties. Read more
Manhattan

Years of soaring home prices have led to 96% of the largest markets in
United States having overvalued real estate, according to a new analysis
by Moody’s Analytics. Most of the market now remains overpriced by
about 25%. That could lead to particularly sharp declines should the
U.S. fall into a recession, warns Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi. Read more
