There is hereby levied an annual per capita tax in the amount of $10, beginning with 2007, upon all inhabitants of the City above the age of 18 years, under the provision of Act 511, known as the "Local Tax Enabling Act," approved December 31, 1965, and amendments thereto.[1]

Editor's Note: Act 160 of 1967 removes from Act 511, the Local Tax Enabling Act, the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 7 of the Act relating to annual reenactment of taxes and specifies that every tax levied under the provisions of the Act would continue in force on a calendar- or fiscal-year basis without annual reenactment unless the rate of the tax is subsequently changed.

Such per capita tax shall be collected by the City Treasurer.
