We live in a town of about 1000 people (though I have never seen them all)

We have the option to pay for garbage pick up but we prefer to use a company that picks up. Costs us 32 a month but worth since we also do construction.

They do snowplow well.
Fire and ambulance are a joke. Two years ago took the fire truck over 20 minutes to travel 3 blocks to an apartment complex on fire cuz of some idiot that had a meth lab

We have a small fair that is pricey every year.

Sports is the biggest thing here. not too bad on costs for that. about $25 per child to join discount for more than 2.

About a year ago we got our first Stop Light. We are so proud! lol Actually it pissed a lot of people off cuz it messed up businesses that have been here a long time. Tore up our streets horribly. Getting better though!

We are not a home rule town so no effect on that.

Taxes on my home: approx $1500 a year for a 3 bedroom house and about an acre of land. (there are 4 lots) The renters home is about $350 a year. BUT our average pay here is 6.50 an hour. So we are probably lower than a lot of areas.
