Municipal corporations (the city of New Orleans excepted) may levy annual taxes not to exceed in any one year seven mills on the dollar of the assessed valuation of taxable property within their respective territorial limits, to defray the expenses of municipal government and for general municipal and local purposes, strictly public in their nature.
Where any municipality is, by its charter or by law, exempt from the payment of parish taxes, or, under legislative authority maintains its own public schools, it may levy an annual tax not to exceed ten mills on the dollar of the assessed valuation of taxable property within its territorial limits, for all of the aforementioned purposes.
