Talking taxes
I recently moved to North Carolina, and I noticed that one has to pay county taxes and city taxes.

I'm not used to this.

Can anyone tell me why? If you live in the City, what does the county you live in do with their portion of the taxes.

I don't see where the county in which I live, does anything for the City.

Thanks for anyone's help.

part of the taxes go to schools, and secondary county roads, health department, agricultural department, county parks, public libraries, landfills, sheriff department, senior services, county animal control and shelters, social services, are just a few.
What county are you located and we could provide a better list?

Cause they can
Remember this is NC, the state that has never seen a tax or fee that they didn't love.
