Cincinnati Schools Push Income Tax | Cincinnati News

Cincinnati Public Schools is rolling out a bold new plan to fund its operations: an earned income tax instead of the traditional property tax. This 0.75% levy targets working residents—excluding retirees and Social Security recipients—and applies based on where you live, not where you work. With state support shaky and property tax revenue dwindling due to abatements, district leaders see this as a more stable, equitable solution. But it’s not without controversy—some worry about added financial strain, while others question whether voters will support a tax they’re less familiar with. This move mirrors efforts across Ohio, yet past attempts have faltered, making voter education critical for success.
