The American City County Exchange has model policy that allows communities to highlight Tax Freedom Day to their constituents.  The proclamation recognizes Tax Freedom Day, which represents how long Americans as a whole have to work in order to pay the nation’s tax burden to local, state and federal governments. This proclamation raises the awareness of the burden taxpayers carry and encourages citizens to contact their elected officials to seek tax relief.

All local officials are encouraged to proclaim Tax Freedom Day to their constituents. You can find a copy of the proclamation and instructions here.

The Tax Foundation has released their latest numbers on Tax Freedom Day here.
