Abstract

This paper develops and applies a method for estimating the sensitivity of the Abstract size and distribution of benefits to changes in property tax circuit-breaker formulas. Distributions of housing values and rental values by income classes are calculated using available data. Based on these distributions, several alternative circuit-breaker formulas are then simulated to derive estimates of the total benefits from each formula and the distributions of benefits among income classes, between owners and renters, and between metro and nonmetro residents in Georgia.
