- 요약Property taxes are the primary own source of revenue for local governments, enabling them to provide services and infrastructure that better respond to the needs of urban residents. Yet, this tax is highly unpopular. Weak public support for property taxes erodes the political will of government officials to update cadaster bases and apply measures that motivate compliance. This ultimately weakens revenue and the ability of local governments to invest in urban infrastructure and services. The result is a negative feedback loop in which inadequate service provision erodes the trust of urban residents and further escalates the political costs of property tax increases.This dissertation explores the factors that contribute to the weak public support for this tax. Using the case of Mexican cities, it investigates the specific challenges of property tax collection in contexts where there is low trust in local government. Across three essays, the dissertation addresses the questions: What influences support for property taxation? How do public perceptions of local government influence support or opposition for this tax?The first essay uses a conjoint experiment in large Mexican municipalities to study the multidimensional character of property taxes. It examines how urban residents' expectations of benefits, and the appropriate use of funds influence their support for more accountable property tax policy. The second essay examines how the challenges to accurately assess property value in Mexico City create vertical and horizontal inequities in property assessments and property taxes. It draws on an experimental field survey to investigate how the presence of inequities undermines the perceived legitimacy of property taxes. The third essay examines the use of property taxation as a tool that both limits and constitutes property rights. This study focuses on how urban residents perceive instruments that constrain the full exercise of property rights and the factors that influence this. The dissertation finds through these three essays that property taxes reflect a relationship between urban residents and local government, which is largely defined by trust in local government and perceptions of fairness.
