ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

When you hire a CPA, you can be confident CPAs have met strict licensing and ethics requirements before receiving Ohio certification.

Note: RITA/CCA administration info isn’t published in one centralized public list for every city; many cities using RITA are confirmed via RITA’s database, while CCA applies to Cleveland and its participating cities. Credit rules can differ by city ordinance. Always verify with the city’s municipal tax office for exact current details. Here’s an example snapshot of several nearby cities (North Ridgeville / Lorain County / nearby Cuyahoga) showing municipal income tax rate, resident credit for tax paid to other cities, and whether they’re handled by RITA, CCA, or self-administered. North Ridgeville: 1.0% (Income Tax Rate) 100% credit up to 0.1% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA Avon: 1.75% until 12/31/2025, 1.95% after 12/31/2025 (Income Tax Rate). 100% credit up to 1.5% until 12/31/2025, 100% credit up to 1.7% after 12/31/2025 (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA Avon Lake: 1.50% (Income Tax Rate) 100% credit up to 1.50% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA Bay Village: 1.50% (Income Tax Rate), 100% credit up to 1.00% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA Elyria: 2.25% (Income Tax Rate), 100% credit up to 2.25% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), Self-administered Cleveland: 2.50% (Income Tax Rate), 100% credit up to 2.50% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by CCA Cleveland Heights: 2.25% (Income Tax Rate), 50% credit up to 1.00% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA North Olmsted: 2.00% (Income Tax Rate), 100% credit up to 2.00% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA Solon: 2.00% (Income Tax Rate), 100% credit up to 2.00% (Resident Credit for Taxes Paid Elsewhere), administered by RITA For other Cities refer to: RITA Municipalities - Regional Income Tax Agency (https://ritaohio.com/Municipalities) Tax Rates | CCA - Division Of Taxation (https://www.ccaohio.gov/tax-rates)

No. City tax rates vary by municipality and can change over time. Rates typically range from 1% to 2.5%, depending on the city.

RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) and CCA (Cleveland Central Collection Agency) are two different city tax authorities. Which one you file with depends on your city of residence or business location.
