This will take your earnings tax back to what you were paying a few years ago. It will vary some based on income but for most of us it will cost less than $11/month.
A:
If you live or work in Cincinnati, you are currently paying 1.8% in earnings tax. This is down from the 2.1% rate that Cincinnatians paid for decades, before transit funding shifted to the County in 2020. Our amendment will restore the rate of 2.1%, ensuring that the increase is pumped directly into affordable housing. For most Cincinnati households, the change will be less than $11/month, but it will enable us to produce hundreds of affordable homes, every year.
