[Massplanners] Property Taxes

[Christopher Ryan]

Hi all

Does anyone know of any reports, papers, or textbooks that address a healthy and balanced local municipal budget from a revenue generation perspective?

First I am interested in what is generally thought of as a healthy balance between residential and commercial/industrial bases assuming that a residential base of 80% or more is not likely ideal.

Next is what percentage of property tax versus other revenue sources typifies a "healthy" budget? As a part of this, it might be good to know on a sliding scale what is least to most regressive.

Thanks in advance...

Chris
