Top Ten Cities with lowest Tax Rates
The Government of the District of Columbia recently conducted a survey of tax rates around the country.
The survey took into account local income, real estate, sales, and personal property taxes on couples that were at a variety of income levels. The survey findings are also based on a typical dual-income couple with a child of school age, bringing in a combined income of $75,000 in tax year 2005.

The ten Metropolitan areas with the lowest percentages of taxes are:

1. 4.1%, Anchorage, Alaska
2. 4.3%, Cheyenne, Wyoming
3. 4.6%, Jacksonville, Florida
4. 5.4%, Las Vegas, Nevada
5. 5.6%, Honolulu, Hawaii
6. 6.1%, Memphis, Tennessee
7. 6.3%, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
8. 6.3%, Fargo, North Dakota
9. 6.3%, Houston, Texas
10. 6.7%, Billings, Montana

As expected San Diego, California did not make the list, nor did any other city in California. Seven of the top ten metro areas are located in states with no income tax.
