Aren't there county property taxes in addition to city taxes that should create a more balanced situation? If I recall correctly, the places I've lived in (where those weren't the same entity) had both.
- save_ferris 7y agoCounty funds don’t pay for city infrastructure. They’re two separate entities with different financial responsibilities. They don’t just share tax revenue with each other.

Many municipal projects that are accessible to non-residents of a city (e.g. roads but not typically schools) are partially funded by counties, states, and the federal government.
