Taxes[edit]
As the mayor, you have a hand in both certainties of life—death and taxes. But it’s the latter that you have direct control over. Taxes are another form of income that can help boost your city’s growth. But keep taxes too high for too long, and the residents may leave your town in droves. Additionally, high-wealth Sims are more averse to high taxes than low- and medium-wealth Sims. Access the Budget Panel to adjust the city’s tax income. Upgrade your Town Hall or City Hall to increase your control over taxes.
