Cost of Community Services Fact Sheet
This fact sheet documents the history, methodology, functions and purposes of Cost of Community Services (COCS) studies.
Description
This fact sheet from the American Farmland Trust provides an overview of Cost of Community Services (COCS) studies: a case study approach used to determine the fiscal contribution of existing local land uses. A subset of the much larger field of fiscal analysis, COCS studies have emerged as an inexpensive and reliable tool to measure direct fiscal relationships. Their particular niche is to evaluate working and open lands on equal ground with residential, commercial and industrial land uses.
