The Land Value Tax Plan

Detroit’s Land Value Tax Plan is a way for Detroit voters to decide whether to cut homeowners’ taxes by an average of 17% and pay for it by increasing taxes on abandoned buildings, parking lots, scrapyards, and other similar properties.

If the Michigan Legislature authorizes, Detroit City Council would decide by November, 2023 whether to place the issue on the ballot. Detroit voters would decide whether to adopt the Land Value Tax at the February, 2024 Presidential primary election. Homeowners would see the full tax cut in 2025.
