you have to pay taxes to the city where you are resident. most cases, the tax you paid to other cities where you worked is used as tax credit for the city where you reside, except where different rates are used and you have to pay a little more.

You don't say what state you are in, but since there are only a few with city tax, I'm going to assume you are in PA. City taxes are a little different as you pay to the city you live in (unless you work in Philly which just has a whole different set of rules) If you had taxes deducted for the city you worked in, you need to see if these can be credited to your city taxes owed.

Well, if that city happens to be New York City, you damn sure have to pay the tax. It's assessed only upon residents, regardless of where you work.
Most commonly your city, county, and state can tax you as a resident regardless of where you earn the income.

Well yes, the taxes are generally based off of where you live anyway. I'm sure they have supporting documentation for what they are charging you.
