Elyria urged to end pay tax reciprocity with nearby towns
Elyria finance committee recommended ending tax reciprocity which could yield about $40 000 yearly in added income tax for Elyria. Under current deals Elyria returns a quarter of the 1 percent tax to workers’ home towns, affecting nine area towns including North Ridgeville and Lorain. Termination could take months and may not please bedroom communities, though Elyria would keep full tax receipts from residents. Council likely to address the matter at its March 18 meeting.
