Although certain local taxes are paid, such as the retail sales tax, they are collected by either the County or the State. The City’s current Income Tax rate is 1.5%. These taxes are collected by RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) on behalf of the City. Residences working outside of the City of Avon Lake are granted up to a 1.5% credit for taxes withheld in the municipality in which they are employed.
