local taxation
City revenue collection
Local taxation is the levying of taxes by municipal, county, or regional governments rather than national authorities.
Property taxes, local sales taxes, and business license fees are common forms.
These revenues typically fund schools, roads, emergency services, and other community needs: Local taxation varies widely from one jurisdiction to another.
