We would like to welcome you and inform you of our Earnings Tax Ordinance. Cheviot has a 2% earnings tax, and all city residents, landlords and business owners must file a Cheviot Tax Return annually, whether they owe taxes or not. Employed residents are required to provide copies of W-2’s, 1099’s and Federal Schedules, when filing a return. Retired residents need only indicate that they are retired and have no earned income.
Landlords are required by Ordinance to notify the Tax Office when a tenant moves in or moves out.
Cheviot Tax Ordinance allows a credit of up to 2% for resident’s income that is earned and taxed outside the City of Cheviot.
The Cheviot Tax Office will prepare Cheviot Tax Returns without charge. The Tax Office is located on the second floor of the Municipal Building at 3814 Harrison Avenue. If we can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact us Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 661-7854 or FAX us at 661-0702. You can also email us at tax@cheviot.org
