Learn moreMedina's own 1.25% municipal income tax, collected through RITA
The City of Medina levies a real, current 1.25% local income tax (initiated in 2004), collected through RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) rather than directly by the city -- one of the 330-plus mostly-northeast-Ohio municipalities RITA serves. RITA generally credits residents for tax paid to another RITA or reciprocal municipality, capped at Medina's own 1.25% rate -- confirm current, address-specific mechanics directly with RITA.
Ohio's flat 2.75% state income tax

Medina County's effective property tax rate carries a real, disclosed spread of 1.29%-1.54% across sources, above Ohio's own statewide average of approximately 1.18% -- the median annual bill runs approximately $3,448.
Medina's combined sales tax rate
