Excerpt from Revenue Systems of State and Local Governments

In general, the state laws leave Wide discretionary powers to the local governments as to matters relating to taxation, but in each state there are some statutory provisions of a general character intended to bring about uniformity in the levy and collection, even of local taxes, within the state. This summary, as also the compilations of the revenue systems of the states, is based upon such general statutory provisions only. The provisions relating to taxation to be found in city charters or ordinances, local in character, have not been included in this summary, nor in the compila tions for the states and territories. Both the sum mary and such compilations are, therefore, primarily concerned with state taxation, and county and munici pal taxation are covered only in so far as they have been determined or fixed by general state legislation. In this digest the word municipal refers to those divisions of government smaller than, or ranking below, the county, as cities, towns, townships, etc.
