Overview
The 90,000 local government entities in the US include counties, municipalities, towns and townships, as well as special purpose entities, such as special districts and independent school districts. Local governments generate revenue from taxes, intergovernmental funding, and fees for services provided. They use this revenue to fund the delivery of services for education, health, police protection, highways, public welfare, sewerage, solid waste disposal, parks and recreation, utilities, housing, and government administration.
Dependence On Property Taxes
Taxes are the largest revenue source for local governments and property taxes account for about 72% of tax revenues.
Spending Mandates
Local governments are often required to spend money to comply with federal and state mandates, even when those mandates are unfunded.
