Income Tax Department
The Income Tax Department is located in the basement of the City Administration Building.


The Income Tax Department is a division of the City Auditor’s Office that is responsible for receiving and processing all local tax payments and returns. City income taxes include employer’s withholding tax as well as both net profit and individual tax returns. The City of Chillicothe is a mandatory filing municipality, which requires the registration of all businesses doing work within the city limits as well as all individuals that live and/or work within the city limits. The local tax rate is 2%. The Income Tax Department works closely with the Law Director’s Office to file small claims cases at Chillicothe Municipal Court against severely delinquent tax accounts.

Revenue collected from City income taxes is broken down and distributed to help fund city services including but not limited to general fund, safety services, street construction, parks & recreation and transit. The Income Tax Department is comprised of the Tax Auditor and an Auditor’s Clerk. They strive to maintain a courteous and professional relationship with the public and are available for questions Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM.

Click here to be directed to the site

Beginning January 1, 2021, the City's Income Tax Department unveiled a new online tax filing and payment website. This new website provides a user-friendly approach where customers can input their tax information and then produce a calculated final return. All returns may be subject to an audit and all refunds will be required to submit W-2's, employer letters and/or other attachments before issue. Employer's withholding may also be submitted on this site. At the time of electronic filing, the customer can also elect to pay online at the same time as their filing. 

*Please note, before you can utilize the e-file site, you must register with the tax office.
