As new residents, we know you will have many questions about the community you have chosen to call home. Pickerington has a City Manager, Mayor, seven Council members and a professional staff at City Hall dedicated to serving the needs of our residents and to provide assistance whenever possible. Since 1976 there has been a 1% city income tax to fund city services. There is a 1/2% credit off that 1% tax to residents who pay tax to their city of employment. All residents 18 years and older are required to file a tax return annually by April 15. TO VERIFY WHETHER YOU ARE A CITY RESIDENT, CHECK THE LISTING OF CITY STREETS LOCATED UNDER THE "RESIDENTIAL" TAB ABOVE. For additional information or assistance in filing your City income tax, call the Tax Department at (614)837-4116.

CITY INCOME TAX INFORMATION
REQUIREMENT: According to Pickerington Codified Ordinance Section 882.08(d), those residents who do not have City of Pickerington tax withheld from their wages and expect to have a tax liability of $50 or more, must pay an estimate. Partial year residents need to estimate on their partial year income.

QUARTERLY PAYMENTS: Quarterly payments on the estimated amount are due April 15, July 15, October 15, and December 15. Payment vouchers are included with the yearly tax return. Remittance may be made without a voucher by including the account number or Social Security number, name, and address.

SAFE HARBOR: The estimated amount must be equal to 100% of the previous full year's tax liability or 90% of the current year's tax liability to avoid insufficient estimate penalties.

PENALTY: If an estimated amount is required and not paid, the taxpayer may be subject to a non-compliance fee of $25, penalty charge of 10% of balance, and interest charge of 1.5% of balance per month from due date.

AMENDMENT: Estimates may be amended at this time by indicating the new estimate amount in the "amended estimate" box provided. After subtracting previous payments from the revised estimate amount, the remainder must be remitted by the December due date.

ASSISTANCE: For help in preparing an estimate or for questions concerning the City of Pickerington's Income Tax liability, please call the City's Income Tax office at 837-4116 during business hours.

NEW RETURNED CHECKS POLICY
All checks received by the City which are returned due to insufficient funds or closed accounts will have a $25.00 charge attached for administrative handling, in addition to any bank fees charged to the City.
