Do High Interest Rates Encourage Property Tax Delinquency

National Tax Journal, 1988, vol. 41, issue 4, 555-60

Abstract: Shows that when interest rates rise above the penalty rate on delinquent property taxes, taxpayers have an incentive to delay their property tax payments, using their local governments as cheap credit sources. States that property tax delinquency as a percent of the tax levy should rise with the increase in the interest rate and finds that higher unemployment increases delinquency while higher inflation reduces it.
