municipal taxes

Local government revenue

Municipal taxes are taxes levied by local governments—cities, towns, or counties—to fund public services like roads, schools, police, and sanitation.

Property tax is the most common form: Our municipal taxes went up after they built the new fire station.

The term distinguishes local taxation from state and federal taxes.
