As an organization dedicated to commercial interests and economic progress, we closely monitor policy levers that create sustainable growth, local infrastructure, and community development.

One of the most discussed topics in this space right now is the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT).

Our allies at the Community Tax Coalition are hosting a critical event, and we want to ensure our members have a seat at the table. We strongly encourage you to RSVP for the upcoming National Real Estate Transfer Tax Policy Summit.

Whether you are an advocate for real estate, a community organizer, or interested in fiscal policy, understanding how to stop real estate transfer taxes is vital. The summit will bring together policy experts, grassroots leaders, and coalition members to discuss:

• A high-level overview of the national trend where governments are turning to transaction taxes to plug recurring budget deficits, and why these revenue projections fail.
• Data-driven evidence on “cliff effects” and the suppression of new housing and commercial construction.
• How transfer taxes trap families and owners and prevent the adaptive reuse of commercial/industrial spaces.
• Tactical advice to shift the conversation from “taxing the wealthy” to “protecting economic progress” and the property tax base.

The Community Tax Coalition has been doing foundational work to align local tax policy with community needs. This summit is a fantastic opportunity to build our collective knowledge and sharpen our advocacy strategies.

Please join us and fellow advocates across the country on June 24.
