Webinar Series: Opportunities and Challenges of Property Tax Reforms for Localising the Sustainable Development Goals (DeLoG, ATI, Norad)

The benefits of domestic revenue mobilisation (DRM) reforms at the subnational level as a means to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are increasingly gaining the attention of the international development cooperation community. This is also reflected in the ATI Declaration 2025, in which members agree to strengthen development cooperation on tax and revenue matters in an inclusive, participatory and meaningful manner at subnational, national, regional and international levels. One of the channels considered most impactful by policy makers and researchers alike is property taxation.

In this second webinar of the series, we will explore how property taxes are key to unlock the revenue-raising potential of local governments. How they can help improve the fiscal space of local governments while combating inequalities? This session builds on a first webinar that took place in April 2021 to raise awareness for the potential of subnational DRM for improving development finance, supporting state-building efforts and strengthening local governance in partner countries. It will contribute to the overall goal of bringing the local governance and tax communities closer together to enhance equitable and efficient DRM at the subnational level.
