Some of the suburbs, some states. Jackson is somewhat unusual in that only three towns that would be considered suburbs are in the same county as the bulk of the city itself. Northern suburbs are a second county, and eastern ones yet a third. Even then, though, cities cannot usually tax outside their boundaries, and county tax rates will be lower (often much, although you're also going to get rural levels of government services in return for your rural-level taxes - the suburbs generally have their own police, schools, fire, etc., rather than relying on the county).
