Question

which type of local government funding source is paid by citizens on their homes and vehicles?
utility tax
property tax
sales tax
license fees

Explanation:

To determine the local government funding source paid on homes and vehicles, we analyze each option:

• Utility tax: Related to utilities (e.g., water, electricity), not directly on homes/vehicles.
• Property tax: Levied on property (including homes and vehicles in some regions), matching the description.
• Sales tax: Applied to purchases, not specifically on homes/vehicles ownership.
• License fees: For permits/licenses, not a tax on the property itself.

So property tax is the correct choice as it is a tax on owned property like homes and vehicles.
