MARC - Local Government Finance

Local Government Finance

Local finance managers, working under the auspices of the Managers Roundtable, have played an advisory role in the development of host of tools that allow cities and counties to compare their own financial information with other entities. The local government finance project includes:

Two tables that show tax rates for cities and counties in the metro area and a comparison of retail sales by county from 2000 to 2007.
- City sales tax rates (.xls file)
- Retail sales by county (.xls file)
A searchable database that contains information about revenues, expenditures, indebtedness and funds for various levels of government, including counties, cities, townships, special districts and school districts in the region.
A fee database that contains building permit fees and planning and zoning fees for local governments.
The retail sales and sales tax dependency report and charts provide information on trends for local governments in retail sales, proportionate capture of retail sales, and sales tax dependency (the extent to which local governments depend on sales taxes for revenue).
