Yes but it is like a complete rewrite of the tax code if you are American. In my country we just don't have municipal taxes. Municipalities have reduced responsibility. All the important services are funded directly from central governments. So you don't get problems like underfunded schools and such. Municipalities get pocket money also from the central government and are only in charge of less important infrastructure and service.

There is no property tax, but we have capital gains taxes based on transfers of assets.
