# City government

The city itself, including the municipal utility that bills the utility users tax.

- [City of Burbank](/companies/city-of-burbank): Sixth employer on the FY2024-25 ACFR principal-employer table, at 1,564 jobs, 0.9 percent. The July 2025 community risk assessment prints 1,536 for the city. Both city figures are stored. City Hall is at 275 East Olive Avenue. A municipality is not a net taxpayer of its own property tax. It is the government that levies the taxes in this directory.
- [Burbank Water and Power](/companies/burbank-water-and-power): Municipal utility and a city enterprise. Utility users tax is a General Fund tax on utility charges and is collected on BWP bills from customers across the city. BWP is the collection mechanism, not an outside firm that supplies that revenue from its own profit. No street address is stored because this record is about the tax mechanism.
