Local Tax Authority

A Local Tax Authority is a government agency at the city, county, or regional level responsible for collecting taxes that fund local public services such as schools, roads, and public safety. They create and enforce tax rules, assess property values, and ensure everyone pays their fair share. These taxes can include property taxes, local sales taxes, and business taxes. Essentially, the Local Tax Authority manages the process of generating revenue needed to support community services and infrastructure, making sure local governments have the funds necessary to operate effectively.
