Typical effects on taxpayers of shifting part of the real estate tax (or other taxes) from improvements to land value:
- Most homeowners see a small decrease in taxes
- Most active businesses see some decrease in taxes
- Owners of rural land and farms may see a small increase in taxes, depending on the situation
- Owners of buildable vacant or underused land pay substantially higher taxes
- Renters are generally unaffected, or may benefit from construction
