Your tax bill should show you the details, but in general, all local spending is paid for with local property and sales taxes. That would include parks, libraries, police and fire protection, roads, and most significantly, schools.
They don't pay for federal and state programs such as VA, federal court system, IRS, etc.

Where I live (sw PA) there are two payments per year - one is county tax, which pays for county services and running the county and for the local municipality services and operation (in my case, a township). The second is for the local school district.

they Are for pretty much everything. Most of the taxes received by our government are real estate taxes. Look you need to look up your local jurisdiction to see what your state and local property taxes go to.

It depends, but your tax bill will have an itemized listing - mine looks like this:
police and fire $x
library $y
Road mainantenance $z
General fund $a
County $b
General fund is zoning, building department, clerk, permits, complaints,
County is county road maintenance, sheriff, register of deeds.
