It would help if you specify what country you are asking about. In the US, it seems to me that these would be a) property taxes and b) sales taxes (presuming you are including county government as "local" since counties often impose sales taxes). As a Canuk, my only local government is city government, and the city raises capital through residential and business property taxes. Development levies (which are not really a tax) are also imposed on new development and the government also gets support from the provincial government.
