REVENUE–GENERATION METHODS: TAXES<br />
The public sector generates revenue<br />
primarily through taxation. Taxes are<br />
assessed based on what you own,<br />
spend and earn. Taxation occurs at<br />
all levels of government.<br />
TYPES OF TAXES LEVIED BY<br />
VARIOUS UNITS OF GOVERNMENT<br />
LOCAL GOVERNMENT<br />
(CITY, COUNTY, SCHOOL DISTRICT)<br />
STATE GOVERNMENT<br />
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT<br />
REVENUE–GENERATION METHODS: FEES<br />
Public sector revenue also can be<br />
generated by fees, which can be<br />
collected at any level of government<br />
but are more common at <strong>the</strong> local<br />
and state levels.<br />
IMPACT FEES<br />
Anticipate <strong>the</strong> need for government services (e.g.,<br />
roads, water, schools) that will result from actions by<br />
<strong>the</strong> private sector that will cause population growth<br />
and are <strong>in</strong>tended to offset <strong>the</strong>ir costs.<br />
SERVICE FEES<br />
Shift <strong>the</strong> cost (or part of <strong>the</strong> cost) from government<br />
to <strong>the</strong> user of a public service (e.g., mortgage/deed<br />
record<strong>in</strong>g, driver’s license, garbage collection).<br />
ENTERPRISE FEES<br />
Are generated from a self-support<strong>in</strong>g enterprise<br />
created by government (e.g., municipal golf course,<br />
state lottery, national park) for which fees can be<br />
charged. The profits generated by <strong>the</strong> enterprise are<br />
used for o<strong>the</strong>r government expenses.<br />
