Dear Northfield Village Residents and Businesses:

Effective January 1, 2017, the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) will begin collecting municipal income tax for Northfield Village. RITA is a non-profit governmental agency established in 1971 under chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code and is the largest municipal income tax collection agency in the State of Ohio. Northfield Village chose the Regional Income Tax Agency for its ability to offer residents and businesses free eFiling, free ePayment capabilities and to maximize the Village's tax collection efforts. RITA will be responsible for the administration and collection of all income taxes and will serve as an Agent of Northfield Village in this capacity.
