Income for cities comes mostly from taxes, licenses, fines, investments, fees, etc. They may also get grants or other aid from the state. The majority of the money is spent paying city employees. Some goes to city operations and the rest goes to land, construction, and capital purchases. 90% of city money goes to one of five areas: transportation, public safety, housing and environment, recreation and culture, and administration however administration and public safety take up about 60% of the money.
-Sarah Luckey
Cities receive revenue through property taxes, license fee, permits, state/ federal grants, and charges for services. Some cities in South Carolina levy special taxes as accommodations tax. The bulk of the cities revenue is spend on public safety and administration.
DeQuawn Smith
Sarah and DeQuawn both covered it well -- the main tax that municiplaities have is the property tax, and most of what they spend goes for personnel that deliver the range of services they provide, with public safety typically being number one.
