North Ridgeville weighs higher city income tax amid reciprocity loss
North Ridgeville faces a move to raise city income tax by a fourth for over 4,000 accounts to recoup about 45 000 yearly revenue lost with the end of reciprocity agreements. The plan would cut the tax credit from 100 percent to 75 percent for residents working outside the city, boosting total city taxes for many. Council members from both parties argue the measure is needed as Elyria and other nearby towns join or resist reciprocity amid a shift to a regional system. The filing deadline would move to April 30 and all residents would file returns regardless of employer location.
