Abstract: Although there exists an unequal distribution of benefits associated with urban lake improvement projects, financing of such projects typically relies on property taxes which do not make this distinction. A more equitable tax, based upon a property value impact model, is proposed whereby costs levied are commensurate with benefits received.
