Filing Dates & Information


​All residents, living within the municipality for more than 30 days out of the year, who are 18 years of age or older are required to file an income tax return without regard to employment or tax liability. This requirement is called “mandatory filing.”

Persons having no source of city taxable income who are permanently retired or permanently disabled, and do not expect to receive city taxable income in the future, may apply for a tax filing exemption. Simply fill out the "Declaration of Exemption Form" located on the right, under "Additional Forms" and submit the completed form along with the necessary proof documents to our office for approval.

You are permitted a credit up to 1.5% on wages taxed in another city.

The interest rate is calculated based on the federal short term rate plus 5%. The rates are as follows:
Calendar year 2018:  6% per year or 0.50% per month
Calendar year 2019:  7% per year or 0.58% per month 

​
The 2018 tax return is due on April 15, 2019.

If you are filing your federal return on extension, a copy of said extension needs to be filed with the municipality in order to avoid late filing fees.
An extension only extends the time of filing, Any tax liability is still due by April 15th to avoid penalty and interest charges.

2nd Quarter – due June 17, 2019
3rd Quarter – due September 16, 2019
4th Quarter – due January 15, 2020
