There are two types of local income tax permitted by law in the State of Ohio, a residence income tax and a work city income tax.
Resident Income Tax: There is no income tax in the township and you do not need to file any local form for the period you live in the township. By law a township can not access a residence income tax in any township in Ohio. The township provides services to their residences with operating monies collected from property taxes and special levies such as a police levy, fire levy or ambulance levy. In Montville Township we have been fortunate to have three levies pass which provide our residents with wonderful services.
Work City Income Tax: If you work in any city or a JEDD district you are probably having deducted from your paycheck a local tax that is called a work city income tax. In Medina City and in the Montville/Medina City JEDD District that tax is currently in 2014 a 1.25% of your gross wages. The collection of this money helps the community to provide the basic costly services to the workers commuting into the area and the residents for repair of roads, snow removal, police, fire and ambulance services.
Consult your Tax Adviser: Local income taxes are based on where you live-
*If you live in Montville Township there are no income taxes or forms.
*If you live in a city that has an income tax you need to file their income tax form as a resident of that city and pay their tax regardless of where you work.
*If you have moved into the Township during the year from a city, you still need to file a city income tax form to the city you previously lived for the period you lived there only and informing them of the date you moved out of the city. Again, there would be no income tax forms to file for the period you lived in Montville Township.
