The Council On State Taxation (COST) is pleased to release its latest research: “The Best and Worst of Property Tax Administration: Scorecard on State Property Tax Administrative Practices.”

The Scorecard focuses on three areas of effective property tax administration: 1) standardized procedures, 2) fair property tax appeal procedures, and 3) an equal residential versus business property tax burden. The highest ranked state in the study is Maryland, with an “A-.” Sitting at the bottom with an “F” is New York.
