Considering the maximum share of the taxes in the different incoming sources of municipalities, attempts should be made to collect such share based on legal frameworks. One of the important factors lending itself to a thorough study is the investigation of the behavior of the taxpayers and citizens in relation to the issue of paying taxes. The cooperation and participation of the citizens in paying their taxes would enable the urban management to take efficient measures to optimally finance and provide local services, to invest in the public infrastructures, etc. The experts state that in order to increase the citizens’ willingness to pay their taxes, such strategies and methods as running advertising projects and passing some motivation- raising rules like offering the possibility to pay taxes on installment plan and considering some form of rewards for encouraging the citizens to pay taxes are of great feasibility.
