State and Local Finance 1177 Revenue Sources for Local Government Counties, cities, and special districts rely on four main revenue sources: federal and state grants, property taxes, user charges and fees, and other taxes and revenues. 2016-17 Federal and State Grants Other Taxes and Revenues Property Taxes User Charges Other Taxes and Fees and Revenues Special Districts $52.5 Billion Property Taxes Cities $78 Billion UUsseerr CChhaarrggeess aanndd FFeeeess Counties $69.2 Billion Federal and State Grants Property User Charges Taxes and Fees Federal and State Grants Other Taxes and Revenues • Cities and special districts receive a significant share of their funding from various user charges and fees. They use these funds to pay for electricity, water, and other municipal services. • Counties receive nearly half of their revenue from the state and federal government and must spend these funds for specific purposes, primarily health and human services.

California’s 58 counties provide state-specified health and human services programs for all individuals in a county. They also provide countywide services, such as jail, district attorney, assessor, and elections. Unincorporated Areas of Counties • Municipal Services. Local governments provide a variety of municipal services—primarily police and fire, but also public works, parks, and others. Cities, counties, and special districts can provide these services depending on where someone lives. Most people live in cities and receive most services from their city. Cities • Special District Services. Residents typically receive services from a combination of their city and special districts or their county and special districts. Typically, special districts provide a certain type of municipal service.
