What is the difference between "tax-supported" and "rate-supported"?
Tax-supported portions of the City budget are funded through property taxes and fund a variety of services that contribute the health, safety and quality of life of the city. The rate-supported portion of the budget is fully-funded by fees applied only to users of the service.
