Compliance and assessment outcomes in the personal property tax

Abstract

Personal property taxpayers must decide the sort and quality of property information to report to assessors. Differences in the extent of compliance across personal property owners may result in assessors over‐ or underassessing noncompliers relative to compliers, which has policy implications for assessment equity and noncompliance penalties. Using nonparametric matching on a panel of restaurants from Dallas County, Texas from 2008 through 2022, I find consistent evidence that noncompliers are underassessed relative to compliers. Results suggest that Texas's statutory penalty rate for noncompliance should be almost twice as much for the rational property owner to be indifferent to compliance.
