City And County Taxes
|
City and county taxes can include sales tax,
income tax, real property tax, personal property tax
and, of course, parking, speeding and other tickets
and fines that bring in local revenue. Local
taxes pay for streets and roads, schools, fire,
police, parks and other community services.
Cities and counties also tax local businesses with
license fees and many of the same taxes that apply to
residents.
City and county taxes can also include taxes on
tourists and others traveling through the city or
county. Tourists pay hotel taxes, highway tolls,
airport fees and other types of service fees.
