Effective October 1, 2022, the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) will begin collecting municipal income tax for the Village of Lincoln Heights.

RITA provides income tax collection and processing services for more than 350 of Ohio's municipalities and is the largest municipal income tax collection agency in the state. RITA's shared services offer municipalities a comprehensive, efficient and effective solution to income tax collection that results in cost savings and increased tax collections. The Villages of Lincoln Heights chose RITA for its ability to offer residents and businesses free online services and its ability to maximize the Village's tax collection efforts. RITA will be responsible for the administration and collection of all income taxes and will serve the Village of Lincoln Heights in this capacity.
