Ohio's flat state tax plus Worthington's own city rate, via RITA

Ohio's flat 2.75% state income tax (2026, HB 96) applies above a $26,050 exemption threshold. Worthington's own 2.5% city income tax is collected through RITA (confirmed via both RITA's own official municipality page and the City of Worthington's own Income Tax page) -- genuinely higher than several nearby suburbs (Dublin, Grove City, New Albany all levy 2.0%).

A genuinely high effective property tax rate

Worthington's own median effective property tax rate ran 2.22% per Ownwell -- above both the Ohio statewide median (1.60%) and the national median (1.02%).

Ohio's standard homeowners-insurance range applies

Worthington shares the same real, disclosed Ohio statewide homeowners-insurance range documented in full in this project's own companion columbus-oh.js record (approximately $1,640-$2,106/year) -- no Worthington-specific figure distinct from that range was found this pass.
