Sometimes there's other restrictions.

For example,

- In some states there's a cap on property tax increases. So the moving to a fee-model takes it off the tax levy by making it a user fee.

- Bundling trash services with the tax levy is inequitable in that commercial properties are subsidizing services they do not use. A 20 unit apartment building usually has to use a private hauler, for example.

- Some places try to setup consumption based models, where you pay per occupancy unit or even by the bag.
