Property Tax Policies
CHP supports fair and transparent tax policies that protect heirs’ property owners, prevent unnecessary property loss, and uphold the rights of all property owners.
Property tax systems can be complicated, and heirs’ property owners sometimes face bills that do not even list their name. Because of unresolved legal title, they are often excluded from basic tax protections that other property owners receive. Updating property tax policies ensures fairness and helps families keep and improve their homes, forests, and land—benefiting all property owners.
Resilient & Affordable Housing
CHP supports housing policies that expand opportunities for heirs’
property owners to build wealth, strengthen property improvements, and access disaster recovery programs that benefit all communities.
We all want to come home to resilient, affordable housing. The families in our communities that own heirs property might hold the keys to affordable housing, increased property values, and wealth for our entire community.
Budget & Public Spending
CHP supports public spending decisions that expand access to essential services, promote family stability, and strengthen local economies by supporting heirs’ property owners.
For generations, heirs’ property owners and their communities have faced barriers in realizing the full value of their homes, forests, and farmland. By strengthening investment in essential services, we can help families clear title and secure the same rights and
opportunities enjoyed by all property owners.
From Practice to Policy: Join a Growing Effort to Advance Heirs’ Property Solutions
