> The Property Tax as a Revenue Source during the Twentieth Century
> At the time of the 1902 Census of Government the property tax provided
> forty-five percent of the general revenue received by state governments from
> their own sources. (excluding grants from other governments). That percentage
> declined steadily, taking its most precipitous drop between 1922 and 1942 as
> states adopted sales and income taxes. Today property taxes are an
> insignificant source of state tax revenue. (See Table 2.)
> The picture at the local level is very different. The property tax as a
> percentage of own-source general revenue rose from 1902 until 1932 when it
> provided 85.2 percent of local government own-source general revenue. Since
> that time there has been a significant gradual decline in the importance of
> local property taxes.
> The decline in the revenue importance of the property tax is more dramatic
> when the increase in federal and state aid is considered. In fiscal year
> 1999, local governments received 228 billion in property tax revenue and 328
> billion in aid from state and federal governments. If current trends
> continue, the property tax will decline in importance and states and the
> federal government will take over more local functions, or expand the system
> of grants to local governments. Either way, government will become more
> centralized.
