Income Taxes
In Ohio, townships do not levy an income tax. 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.
Hotel/Motel or Transient Occupancy Tax
In Ohio, townships are permitted to collect tax on transient occupants more commonly known as Hotel/Motel Tax. Overnight guests at local hotels and motels located within the Township are charged a 3% Occupancy Tax on the room rate. These taxes are remitted directly to the Township usually monthly, but no less than quarterly.
Sales Tax
Ohio townships do not receive any money from sales taxes. Even though Miami Township-based businesses generate significant sales tax revenue for Montgomery County, Miami Township does not receive any direct share of those taxes.
