This section reports data which put the property tax in the overall context of state and local finances. This section contains data for 3 years – 2005 (estimated), 2002 and 1992. The tables display data for state and local governments combined, and for state governments and local governments separately. For each year and each type of government, tables show data for each revenue source in nominal dollars, as a share of all revenues, per capita, and as a percent of personal income. These data come from the U.S. Census Bureau and can be found at http://www.census.gov/govs/www/estimate.html. Individual revenue sources are defined in Chapter 4 of the U.S. Census Bureau 2006 Classification Manual which can be found at http://ftp2.census.gov/govs/class06/ch_4.pdf.
