Ohio's flat state income tax plus Oxford's RITA-collected city rate

Ohio's flat 2.75% state income tax (on income above a $26,050 exemption, effective tax year 2026) applies statewide. Oxford's own 2% city income tax is collected through RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency), which has served Oxford since August 2007.

A possible additional school-district income tax

One source referenced a separate, additional traditional school-district income tax (approximately 1%) that may apply in the Oxford area -- this record could not fully verify current-year applicability with high confidence; confirm directly with the Talawanda Local School District or the Ohio Department of Taxation.

A notably low own-city property tax rate

Oxford's own city-specific effective property tax rate ran approximately 0.99% -- notably below the broader Butler County median of approximately 1.44%, though rates vary by area (1.22% in College Corner to 1.81% in Middletown).
