Township Taxes

Income Taxes

In Ohio, townships do not levy an income tax on residents. If you live and work in a township, you will pay no income tax (assuming your business is not within a Joint Economic Development District). The township's residential taxpayer funding comes generally through property taxes.

JEDD (Joint Economic Development District)

In Ohio, townships do not have the authority to tax income of businesses or residents. To help townships offset the revenue sharing losses from the state, the state legislature created Joint Economic Development Districts (JEDD). A JEDD allows a township to partner with an adjacent city or village with an income tax, to collect an income tax on workers within a defined area. Miami Township has three JEDDs in existence; City of Dayton JEDD, at the Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport; Dayton Mall JEDD, the area around the Dayton Mall; and the Austin JEDD, the area near Austin Landing.

Sales Tax

Ohio townships do not receive any money from sales taxes. Even though Miami Township is one of the largest economic generators of sales tax in Montgomery County (the Dayton Mall alone is almost 1/10th of the total sales tax base in the county), the township does not receive any of that money. The current sales tax rate is 7.25%. This is broken down into the current state of Ohio rate of 5.75%; Montgomery County 1.00% and the Transit Tax of 0.50%.
