North Ridgeville faces $80K to $100K tax revenue loss over piggyback fee
The city may forfeit about $80,000 to $100,000 in revenue from a $5 license plate piggyback tax after failing to notify the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The tax, approved in March, would have added $5 to registration fees but was not on the BMV collection list. The state requires timely notice, and officials say the city mailed notice to the wrong office, hindering collection plans and prompting review of legality and potential taxpayer suits.
