Land-Based Financing
Our Work
Our work on land-based financing explores how the public sector can recover and reinvest land value increases that result from public investment and other government actions such as a rezoning or land use change.
Technical Assistance for Land Value Return
We provide technical assistance to communities considering land value return to help them secure much-needed revenues or in-kind contributions from developers and property owners.
