Except that thing is only municipal and school (in some school districts) taxes. 0.5% of the 1.5% Local Earned Income Tax in Bellevue goes to the Northgate School District, and 1.0% goes to the municipality of Bellevue.

Plenty of people call them Municipal taxes because "municipal" just means relating to a city or town or its governing body. If you've never heard them called as such, maybe it's because your parents and/or teachers don't use the term?
