The annual conference of the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) offers state and local assessing officials the opportunity to hear varied perspectives on property tax policy from eminent economists, academics, and practitioners who have a special interest in property taxation. Each year, the Lincoln Institute sponsors a seminar for conference participants on current issues in property tax policy. This year’s sessions will focus on “Tax Increment Financing: Policy and Administrative Challenges.”

This program allows municipal officials from New England to consider critical issues for the fiscal health of their cities and towns. Economic and fiscal experts present information on fiscal sustainability and financing options, among other topics. This small interactive invitation-only seminar is co-sponsored with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
