  9. Why Does It Matter to Municipalities? A community without jobs exports it talent, wealth, and eventually, residents. Communities cannot survive on residential tax base alone. Without a strong non-residential tax base, the cost of providing public services exceeds the tax revenue available Non-residential tax base growth brings revenue, and positive economic activity, new jobs and spreads the COGS. The only viable way to maintain public services and reduce the tax burden for our citizens is to grow the tax base.
