Use border_type=* for this. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:border_type
Usage is spotty at best but it looks fairly consistent to me. For example in Pennsylvania admin_level=8 can have a border_type of city, township, borough, municipality(?), or town (there's just one "town"). In New York admin_level=7 can have a border_type of town or city, but I'm only seeing this on two cities and about a third of the towns. Since a combo admin+place has both a boundary and a label node, is there a rule of thumb for what tags go where? Does place=whatever go on both? What about wikidata? (?) border_type=municipality definitely came from TIGER, as it matches Bethel Park, Monroeville, and Murrysville having an LSAD of municipality. Pennsylvania's classification of home rule municipalities is a bit fuzzy, since it's *also* still considered to be a township or borough. I'll leave that one alone for now.
