Taxes & Insurance in Findlay
Findlay applies Ohio's real, flat 2.75% state income tax alongside the city's own directly-collected 2.5% municipal rate -- but this record VERIFIES a real, notable gap: no resident credit for tax paid to another Ohio municipality where the income was earned.

Learn moreFindlay's own directly-collected 2.5% local income tax
Findlay levies a real, current 2.5% municipal income tax, collected DIRECTLY through the city's own Income Tax Department (Codified Ordinance 194.13(B)) rather than RITA or CCA -- the same department also administers income tax for the villages of Arlington, Mount Cory, Vanlue, Carey, Mount Blanchard, Jenera, and McComb.
A real, VERIFIED gap: no resident credit for tax paid elsewhere
This record verifies, rather than assumes, that Findlay does NOT offer residents a credit for tax paid to another municipality where the income was actually earned (neither do Mount Cory, Vanlue, or Mount Blanchard) -- a real, meaningful difference from Toledo's and Marietta's own documented dollar-for-dollar resident credit structures elsewhere in this project's Ohio buildout. Confirm this directly if you'll be commuting to or earning income in a different Ohio municipality.
Ohio's flat 2.75% state income tax
Ohio's real, newly-flattened state income tax applies a single flat 2.75% rate on Ohio taxable nonbusiness income above a $26,050 threshold, effective for the 2026 tax year (House Bill 96).
Property tax and homeowners insurance run comparatively moderate
Findlay's own median effective property tax rate ran approximately 1.24% per Ownwell. Ohio's average annual homeowners insurance premium carries a real, disclosed statewide range of $1,231-$2,106/year -- no Findlay-specific premium distinct from this statewide range was found this pass, though anyone near the Blanchard River should confirm flood-insurance requirements separately (standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage).
Key takeaways
- Findlay's own 2.5% municipal income tax is collected DIRECTLY by the city -- not RITA or CCA.
- A real, VERIFIED gap: Findlay offers NO resident credit for tax paid to another municipality.
- Ohio's flat 2.75% state income tax (above a $26,050 threshold) applies statewide.
- Findlay's effective property tax rate ran approximately 1.24%; confirm flood-insurance needs separately given real, disclosed river-flood risk.
