(3) In the discretion of the board of trustees, the revenue bonds of the district may be secured by a trust agreement between the joint recreation district and a corporate trustee, that may be any trust company or bank having powers of a trust company, within or without the state. (4) The trust agreement may provide for the pledge or assignment of the revenues to be received, but shall not pledge the general credit and taxing power of the joint recreation district. The trust agreement or the resolution providing for the issuance of revenue bonds may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and trustees, and may contain other provisions for protecting and enforcing their rights and remedies that are determined in the discretion of the board of trustees to be reasonable and proper. The agreement or resolution may provide for the custody, investment, and disbursement of all moneys derived from the sale of such bonds, or from the revenues of the joint recreation district, other than those moneys received from taxes levied pursuant to section 755.171 of the Revised Code, and may provide for the deposit of such funds without regard to Chapter 135. of the Revised Code. (5) All bonds issued under authority of this section, regardless of form or terms and regardless of any other law to the contrary, shall have all qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments, subject to provisions for registration, and may be issued in coupon, fully registered, or other form, or any combination thereof, as the board of trustees determines. Provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to principal alone or as to both principal and interest, and for the conversion into coupon bonds of any fully registered bonds or bonds registered as to both principal and interest. (6) The revenue bonds shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature within thirty years following the date of issuance and in such amount, at such time or times, and in such number of installments, as may be provided in or pursuant to the resolution authorizing their issuance. Any original issue of revenue bonds shall mature not later than thirty years from their date of issue. Such resolution also shall provide for the execution of the bonds, which may be by facsimile signatures unless prohibited by the resolution, and the manner of sale of the bonds. The resolution shall provide for, or provide for the determination of, any other terms and conditions relative to the issuance, sale, and retirement of the bonds that the board of trustees in its discretion determines to be reasonable and proper. (7) Whenever a joint recreation district considers it expedient, it may issue renewal notes and refund any bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured. The final maturity of any notes, including any renewal notes, shall not be later than five years from the date of issue of the original issue of notes. The final maturity of any refunding bonds shall not be later than the later of thirty years from the date of issue of the original issue of bonds or the date by which it is expected, at the time of issuance of the refunding bonds, that the useful life of all of the property, other than interests in land, refinanced with proceeds of the bonds will have expired. The refunding bonds shall be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase, redemption, or payment of the bonds to be refunded and the costs of issuance of the refunding bonds. The bonds and notes issued under this section, their transfer, and the income therefrom, shall at all times be free from taxation within the state. (E) A joint recreation district described in this section may do all of the following: (1) Operate or appoint agents to operate, or otherwise provide for the operation of, its properties and its facilities, activities, and programs and to enter into agreements and arrangements related thereto, and to receive and apply the net proceeds thereof solely to the management, operation, development, maintenance, and repair of its properties, its buildings, facilities, improvements, and grounds; (2) Impose and collect a charge for admission for selective events, exhibits, and facilities; (3) Offer memberships of various denominations for selective activities or facilities; (4) Form advisory and other support committees to the board of trustees to provide counsel and assistance to the board in the management, operation, and development of its properties, buildings, facilities, improvements, and grounds; (5) Grant licenses, or enter into leases or contracts, for the use of any part of its properties, facilities, buildings, and grounds for such length of time and upon such terms and conditions as the board of trustees deems appropriate and necessary, and grant easements in, through, or over its property; (6) Receive and accept from any federal, state, county, municipal, or local government or agency, any grant or contribution of money, property, labor, or other things of value, to be held, used, and applied for the purpose for which such grants and contributions are made; and (7) Accept and expend gifts, grants, devises, and bequests of money and property on behalf of the board of trustees and hold, use, and apply such gifts, grants, devises, and bequests according to the terms thereof. (F)(1) For purposes of division (F)(2) of this section, "bank" has the same meaning as in section 1101.01 of the Revised Code. (2) The board of trustees may enter into a contract for a secured line of credit with a bank if the contract meets all of the following requirements: (a) The term of the contract does not exceed one year, except that the contract may provide for the automatic renewal of the contract for up to four additional one-year periods. (b) The contract provides that the bank shall not commence a civil action against the board, any member of the board, or the county or the municipal corporation to recover the principal, interest, or any charges or other amounts that remain outstanding on the secured line of credit at the time of any default by the board. (c) The contract provides that no assets other than those of the joint recreation district can be used to secure the line of credit. (d) The terms and conditions of the contract comply with all state and federal statutes and rules governing the extension of a secured line of credit. (3) Any obligation incurred by a board of trustees of a joint recreation district pursuant to division (B) of this section is an obligation of that board only and not a general obligation of the board of county commissioners, the county, or the municipal corporation within the meaning of division (Q) of section 133.01 of the Revised Code. (G)(1) For purposes of division (G)(2) of this section, "lease-purchase agreement" has the same meaning as a lease with an option to purchase. (2) For any purpose for which a board of trustees of a joint recreation district described in this section is authorized to acquire real or personal property, that board may enter into a lease-purchase agreement in accordance with this section to acquire the property. The lease-purchase agreement shall provide for a series of terms in which no term extends beyond the end of the fiscal year of the joint recreation district in which that term commences. In total, the terms provided for in the agreement shall be for not more than the useful life of the real or personal property that is the subject of the agreement. A property's useful life shall be determined either by the maximum number of installment payments permitted under the statute that authorizes the board to acquire the property or, if there is no such provision, by the maximum number of years to maturity provided for the issuance of bonds in division (B) of section 133.20 of the Revised Code if bonds were to be issued by a subdivision under that section to finance such facilities. If the useful life cannot be determined under either of those statutes, it shall be estimated as provided in division (C) of section 133.20 of the Revised Code. The lease-purchase agreement shall provide that, at the end of the final term in the agreement, if all obligations of the joint recreation district have been satisfied, the title to the leased property shall vest in the joint recreation district if that title has not vested in the joint recreation district before or during the lease terms; except that the lease-purchase agreement may require the joint recreation district to pay an additional lump sum payment as a condition of obtaining that title. (3) A board of trustees of a joint recreation district that enters into a lease-purchase agreement under this section may do any of the following with the property that is the subject of the agreement: (a) If the property is personal property, assign the board's rights to that property; (b) Grant the lessor a security interest in the property; (c) If the property is real property, grant leases, easements, or licenses for underlying land or facilities under the board's control for terms not exceeding five years beyond the final term of the lease-purchase agreement. (4) The authority granted in division (G) of this section is in addition to and not in derogation of, any other financing authority provided by law. (H) The board of trustees of a joint recreation district described in this section may exercise such other powers as shall have been granted to it in the agreement between the municipal corporation and the board of county commissioners establishing the joint recreation district entered into pursuant to division (C) of section 755.14 of the Revised Code.

When so authorized, the board, officer, or director shall make a written contract with the highest and best bidder after advertisement for not less than two nor more than four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the municipal corporation or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code, or with a board of county commissioners upon such lawful terms as are agreed upon, as provided by division (B)(1) of section 721.27 of the Revised Code. (B) When the legislative authority finds, by resolution, that the municipal corporation has vehicles, equipment, or machinery which is obsolete, or is not needed or is unfit for public use, that the municipal corporation has need of other vehicles, equipment, or machinery of the same type, and that it will be in the best interest of the municipal corporation that the sale of obsolete, unneeded, or unfit vehicles, equipment, or machinery be made simultaneously with the purchase of the new vehicles, equipment, or machinery of the same type, the legislative authority may offer to sell, or authorize a board, officer, or director of the municipal corporation having supervision or management of the property to offer to sell, those vehicles, equipment, or machinery and to have the selling price credited against the purchase price of other vehicles, equipment, or machinery and to consummate the sale and purchase by a single contract with the lowest and best bidder to be determined by subtracting from the selling price of the vehicles, equipment, or machinery to be purchased by the municipal corporation the purchase price offered for the municipally-owned vehicles, equipment, or machinery. When the legislative authority or the authorized board, officer, or director of a municipal corporation advertises for bids for the sale of new vehicles, equipment, or machinery to the municipal corporation, they may include in the same advertisement a notice of willingness to accept bids for the purchase of municipally-owned vehicles, equipment, or machinery which is obsolete, or is not needed or is unfit for public use, and to have the amount of those bids subtracted from the selling price as a means of determining the lowest and best bidder. (C) If the legislative authority of the municipal corporation determines that municipal personal property is not needed for public use, or is obsolete or unfit for the use for which it was acquired, and that the property has no value, the legislative authority may discard or salvage that property. (D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in division (A) or (B) of this section and regardless of the property's value, the legislative authority of a municipal corporation may sell personal property, including motor vehicles acquired for the use of municipal officers and departments, and road machinery, equipment, tools, or supplies, which is not needed for public use, or is obsolete or unfit for the use for which it was acquired, by internet auction.

The resolution shall include a description of how the auctions will be conducted and shall specify the number of days for bidding on the property, which shall be no less than ten days, including Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The resolution shall indicate whether the municipal corporation will conduct the auction or the legislative authority will contract with a representative to conduct the auction and shall establish the general terms and conditions of sale. If a representative is known when the resolution is adopted, the resolution shall provide contact information such as the representative's name, address, and telephone number. After adoption of the resolution, the legislative authority shall publish, in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipal corporation or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code, notice of its intent to sell unneeded, obsolete, or unfit municipal personal property by internet auction.

A similar notice also shall be posted continually throughout the calendar year in a conspicuous place in the offices of the village clerk or city auditor, and the legislative authority. If the municipal corporation maintains a web site on the internet, the notice shall be posted continually throughout the calendar year at that web site. When the property is to be sold by internet auction, the legislative authority or its representative may establish a minimum price that will be accepted for specific items and may establish any other terms and conditions for the particular sale, including requirements for pick-up or delivery, method of payment, and sales tax.

However, divisions (A), (D)(4), (E), (G), (H), (I), (J), (K), and (L) of section 715.70 of the Revised Code do apply to a district established under this section. (B) One or more municipal corporations and one or more townships may enter into a contract approved by the legislative authority of each contracting party pursuant to which they create as a joint economic development district one or more areas for the purpose of facilitating economic development to create or preserve jobs and employment opportunities and to improve the economic welfare of the people in this state and in the area of the contracting parties. The district created shall be located within the territory of one or more of the contracting parties and may consist of all or a portion of that territory. The boundaries of the district shall be described in the contract or in an addendum to the contract.

The filing shall occur at least ninety days before the specified date the election is to be held and shall direct the board of elections to conduct the election in the township.

The income tax may be levied in the district based on income earned by persons working or residing within the district and based on the net profits of businesses located in the district. The income tax of the district shall follow the provisions of Chapter 718. of the Revised Code, except that no vote shall be required by the electors residing in the district. The rate of the income tax shall be no higher than the highest rate being levied by a municipal corporation that is a party to the contract. The board of directors of a district levying an income tax shall enter into an agreement with one of the municipal corporations that is a party to the contract to administer, collect, and enforce the income tax on behalf of the district. The resolution levying the income tax shall provide the same credits, if any, to residents of the district for income taxes paid to other districts or municipal corporations where the residents work, as credits provided to residents of the municipal corporation administering the income tax. (H) No annexation proceeding pursuant to Chapter 709. of the Revised Code that proposes the annexation to or merger or consolidation with a municipal corporation, except a municipal corporation that is a party to the contract, of any unincorporated territory within the district shall be commenced for a period of three years after the contract is filed with the legislative authority of each county within which a party to the contract is located in accordance with division (D) of this section unless each board of township trustees whose territory is included, in whole or part, within the district and the territory proposed to be annexed, merged, or consolidated adopts a resolution consenting to the commencement of the proceeding and a copy of the resolution is filed with the legislative authority of each such county or unless the contract is terminated during this three-year period.

Status: in_force

August 22, 1995 House Bill 99 - 121st General Assembly Members of the legislative authority at large shall have resided in their respective cities, and members from wards shall have resided in their respective wards, for at least one year immediately preceding their election. Each member of the legislative authority shall be an elector of the city, shall not hold any other public office, except that of notary public or member of the state militia, and shall not be interested in any contract with the city, and no such member may hold employment with said city. A member who ceases to possess any of such qualifications, or removes from the member's ward, if elected from a ward, or from the city, if elected from the city at large, shall forthwith forfeit the member's office. The purpose of establishing a one-year residency requirement in this section is to recognize that the state has a substantial and compelling interest in encouraging qualified candidacies for election to the office of member of the legislative authority of a city by ensuring that a candidate for such office has every opportunity to become knowledgeable with and concerned about the problems and needs of the area the candidate seeks to represent. In enacting this requirement, the general assembly finds that the one-year period is reasonably related to this purpose, while leaving unimpaired a person's right to travel, to vote, and to be a candidate for public office.

(2) "Consolidated federal income tax return" means a consolidated return filed for federal income tax purposes pursuant to section 1501 of the Internal Revenue Code. (3) "Consolidated federal taxable income" means the consolidated taxable income of an affiliated group of corporations, as computed for the purposes of filing a consolidated federal income tax return, before consideration of net operating losses or special deductions. "Consolidated federal taxable income" does not include income or loss of an incumbent local exchange carrier that is excluded from the affiliated group under division (A)(1) of this section. (4) "Incumbent local exchange carrier" has the same meaning as in section 4927.01 of the Revised Code. (5) "Local exchange telephone service" has the same meaning as in section 5727.01 of the Revised Code. (B)(1) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, a taxpayer that is a member of an affiliated group of corporations may elect to file a consolidated municipal income tax return for a taxable year if at least one member of the affiliated group of corporations is subject to the municipal income tax in that taxable year and if the affiliated group of corporations filed a consolidated federal income tax return with respect to that taxable year. The election is binding for a five-year period beginning with the first taxable year of the initial election unless a change in the reporting method is required under federal law. The election continues to be binding for each subsequent five-year period unless the taxpayer elects to discontinue filing consolidated municipal income tax returns under division (B)(2) of this section or a taxpayer receives permission from the tax administrator. The tax administrator shall approve such a request for good cause shown. (2) An election to discontinue filing consolidated municipal income tax returns under this section must be made in the first year following the last year of a five-year consolidated municipal income tax return election period in effect under division (B)(1) of this section. The election to discontinue filing a consolidated municipal income tax return is binding for a five-year period beginning with the first taxable year of the election. (3) An election made under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section is binding on all members of the affiliated group of corporations subject to a municipal income tax. (4) When a taxpayer makes the election allowed under section 718.80 of the Revised Code, a valid election made by the taxpayer under division (B)(1) or (2) of this section is binding upon the tax commissioner for the remainder of the five-year period. (5) When an election made under section 718.80 of the Revised Code is terminated, a valid election made under section 718.86 of the Revised Code is binding upon the tax administrator for the remainder of the five-year period. (C) A taxpayer that is a member of an affiliated group of corporations that filed a consolidated federal income tax return for a taxable year shall file a consolidated municipal income tax return for that taxable year if the tax administrator determines, by a preponderance of the evidence, that intercompany transactions have not been conducted at arm's length and that there has been a distortive shifting of income or expenses with regard to allocation of net profits to the municipal corporation. A taxpayer that is required to file a consolidated municipal income tax return for a taxable year shall file a consolidated municipal income tax return for all subsequent taxable years unless the taxpayer requests and receives written permission from the tax administrator to file a separate return or a taxpayer has experienced a change in circumstances. (D) A taxpayer shall prepare a consolidated municipal income tax return in the same manner as is required under the United States department of treasury regulations that prescribe procedures for the preparation of the consolidated federal income tax return required to be filed by the common parent of the affiliated group of which the taxpayer is a member. (E)(1) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (E)(2), (3), and (4) of this section, corporations that file a consolidated municipal income tax return shall compute adjusted federal taxable income, as defined in section 718.01 of the Revised Code, by substituting "consolidated federal taxable income" for "federal taxable income" wherever "federal taxable income" appears in that division and by substituting "an affiliated group of corporation's" for "a C corporation's" wherever "a C corporation's" appears in that division. (2) No corporation filing a consolidated municipal income tax return shall make any adjustment otherwise required under division (E) of section 718.01 of the Revised Code to the extent that the item of income or deduction otherwise subject to the adjustment has been eliminated or consolidated in the computation of consolidated federal taxable income. (3) If the net profit or loss of a pass-through entity having at least eighty per cent of the value of its ownership interest owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an affiliated group of corporations is included in that affiliated group's consolidated federal taxable income for a taxable year, the corporation filing a consolidated municipal income tax return shall do one of the following with respect to that pass-through entity's net profit or loss for that taxable year: (a) Exclude the pass-through entity's net profit or loss from the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purpose of making the computations required in section 718.02 of the Revised Code, exclude the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation. If the entity's net profit or loss is so excluded, the entity shall be subject to taxation as a separate taxpayer on the basis of the entity's net profits that would otherwise be included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (b) Include the pass-through entity's net profit or loss in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purpose of making the computations required in section 718.02 of the Revised Code, include the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation. If the entity's net profit or loss is so included, the entity shall not be subject to taxation as a separate taxpayer on the basis of the entity's net profits that are included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (4) If the net profit or loss of a pass-through entity having less than eighty per cent of the value of its ownership interest owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an affiliated group of corporations is included in that affiliated group's consolidated federal taxable income for a taxable year, all of the following shall apply: (a) The corporation filing the consolidated municipal income tax return shall exclude the pass-through entity's net profit or loss from the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group and, for the purposes of making the computations required in section 718.02 of the Revised Code, exclude the property, payroll, and gross receipts of the pass-through entity in the computation of the affiliated group's net profit sitused to a municipal corporation; (b) The pass-through entity shall be subject to municipal income taxation as a separate taxpayer in accordance with this chapter on the basis of the entity's net profits that would otherwise be included in the consolidated federal taxable income of the affiliated group. (F) Corporations filing a consolidated municipal income tax return shall make the computations required under section 718.02 of the Revised Code by substituting "consolidated federal taxable income attributable to" for "net profit from" wherever "net profit from" appears in that section and by substituting "affiliated group of corporations" for "taxpayer" wherever "taxpayer" appears in that section. (G) Each corporation filing a consolidated municipal income tax return is jointly and severally liable for any tax, interest, penalties, fines, charges, or other amounts imposed by a municipal corporation in accordance with this chapter on the corporation, an affiliated group of which the corporation is a member for any portion of the taxable year, or any one or more members of such an affiliated group. (H) Corporations and their affiliates that made an election or entered into an agreement with a municipal corporation before January 1, 2016, to file a consolidated or combined tax return with such municipal corporation may continue to file consolidated or combined tax returns in accordance with such election or agreement for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2016.

(B) If the tax commissioner determines that the amount of tax paid by a taxpayer and distributed to a municipal corporation under this section for a taxable year exceeds the amount payable to that municipal corporation under sections 718.80 to 718.95 of the Revised Code after accounting for amounts remitted with the annual return and as estimated taxes, the commissioner shall proceed according to section 5703.77 of the Revised Code. (C) If the amount of a municipal corporation's net distribution computed by the commissioner under division (A) of this section is less than zero, the commissioner may notify the municipal corporation of the deficiency.

The treasurer of state shall credit any payment received under this division to the municipal net profit tax fund. (D) If a municipal corporation fails to make a timely payment required under division (C) of this section, the commissioner may recover the deficiency using any or all of the following options: (1) Deduct the amount of the deficiency from the next distribution to that municipal corporation under division (A) of this section or, if the amount of the deficiency exceeds the amount of such distribution, withhold such distributions entirely until the withheld amount equals the amount of the municipal corporation's deficiency; (2) Deduct the amount of the deficiency from the next payment to that municipal corporation under division (A) of section 5745.05 of the Revised Code or, if the amount of the deficiency exceeds the amount of such distribution, withhold such distributions entirely until the withheld amount equals the amount of the municipal corporation's deficiency; (3) Deduct the amount of the deficiency from the municipal corporation's share of the next payment made by the commissioner under division (F) of section 321.24 of the Revised Code or, if the amount of the deficiency exceeds the amount of the municipal corporation's share of such payment, withhold the municipal corporation's share of the payments entirely until the withheld amount equals the amount of the municipal corporation's deficiency. (E) The total amount of payments and distributions withheld from a municipal corporation under division (D) of this section shall not exceed the unpaid portion of the municipal corporation's net distribution deficiency. All amounts withheld under division (D) of this section shall be credited to the municipal net profit tax fund. (F) The commissioner may adopt rules necessary to administer this section.

§ 725.02. Value of improvements exempt from real property taxation
Status: in_force

December 2, 1996 House Bill 627 - 121st General Assembly (A) The portion of the assessed valuation of improvements constructed pursuant to a development agreement, and the portion of the increase in the assessed valuation after the commencement of rehabilitation of improvements rehabilitated pursuant to a development agreement declared to be a public purpose in the development agreement shall be exempt from real property taxation by all political subdivisions and taxing districts. Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section, the portion of the assessed valuation of improvements declared to be a public purpose and exempted from taxation shall not exceed seventy-five per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements for each year of the exemption period. (B) With the approval under this division of the board of education of the city, local, or exempted village school district within the territory of which the improvements are or will be located, the portion of the assessed valuation of improvements exempted from taxation may exceed seventy-five per cent, but shall not exceed one hundred per cent. The legislative authority of the municipal corporation shall deliver to the board of education a notice stating its intent to declare improvements to be a public purpose under the agreement. The notice shall be delivered not later than forty-five days prior to execution of the agreement by the legislative authority, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays as defined in section 1.14 of the Revised Code. The notice shall describe the parcel and the improvements, provide an estimate of the true value in money of the improvements, specify the period for which the improvements would be exempted from taxation and the percentage of the assessed valuation of the improvements that would be exempted, and indicate the date on which the legislative authority intends to execute the agreement. The board of education, by resolution adopted by a majority of the board, may approve the exemption for the exemption percentage specified in the notice, may disapprove the exemption for the percentage of the improvements to be exempted in excess of seventy-five per cent, or may approve the exemption on the condition that the legislative authority and the board negotiate an agreement providing for compensation to the school district equal in value to a percentage of the taxes that would be payable on the portion of the assessed valuation of the improvements in excess of seventy-five per cent were that portion to be subject to taxation. The board of education shall certify its resolution to the legislative authority not later than fourteen days prior to the date the legislative authority intends to execute the agreement as indicated in the notice. If the board of education approves the exemption on the condition that a compensation agreement be negotiated, the board in its resolution shall propose a compensation percentage. If the board of education and the legislative authority negotiate a mutually acceptable compensation agreement, the legislative authority may declare up to one hundred per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements to be a public purpose and exempted from taxation. If the board and the legislative authority fail to negotiate a mutually acceptable compensation agreement, the legislative authority may declare not more than seventy-five per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements to be a public purpose and exempted from taxation. If the board fails to certify a resolution to the legislative authority within the time prescribed by this division, the legislative authority thereupon may declare up to one hundred per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements to be a public purpose and exempted from taxation. The legislative authority may execute a development agreement at any time after the board of education certifies its resolution approving the exemption to the legislative authority, or, if the board approves the exemption on the condition that a mutually acceptable compensation agreement be negotiated, at any time after the compensation agreement is agreed to by the board and the legislative authority. If a board of education has adopted a resolution waiving its right to approve exemptions from taxation granted pursuant to development agreements and the resolution remains in effect, approval of such exemptions by the board is not required under this division. If a board of education has adopted a resolution allowing a legislative authority to deliver the notice required under this division fewer than forty-five business days prior to the legislative authority's execution of the agreement, the legislative authority shall deliver the notice to the board not later than the number of days prior to such execution as prescribed by the board in its resolution. If a board of education adopts a resolution waiving its right to approve exemptions or shortening the notification period, the board shall certify a copy of the resolution to the legislative authority. If the board of education rescinds such a resolution, it shall certify notice of the rescission to the legislative authority. If the legislative authority is not required by this division to notify the board of education of the legislative authority's intent to declare improvements to be a public purpose, the legislative authority shall comply with the notice requirements imposed under section 5709.83 of the Revised Code, unless the board has adopted a resolution under that section waiving its right to receive such a notice. (C) The exemption shall commence on the date of the execution of the development agreement therefor and extend for the number of years designated in the development agreement and thereafter for so long as there are outstanding any urban renewal bonds payable from the urban renewal service payments provided for in the development agreement. Any such exemption shall be claimed and allowed in the same or a similar manner as in the case of other real property exemptions and no such claim shall be allowed unless the municipal corporation wherein said property is located certifies that an exemption period has been specified and that a development agreement has been entered into and is in effect. If an exemption status changes during a tax year, the procedure for the apportionment of the taxes for said year shall be the same as in the case of other changes in tax exemption status during the year. (D) An agreement that satisfies the requirements of either division (C)(1)(a) or (C)(1)(c) of section 725.01 of the Revised Code may be amended to satisfy the requirements of the other two of division (C)(1)(a), (b), or (c) of section 725.01 of the Revised Code and to establish the period of exemption pursuant to this section at any time prior to the completion of the construction or rehabilitation of the improvements of which all or a portion of the assessed valuation is to be exempt from real property taxation pursuant to this section. The execution of the amendment of such agreement shall be the execution of the development agreement for the purpose of this section.

Ohio Rev. Code § 718.03 — Ohio Revised Code / Title 7 / Chapter 718 / § 718.03
§ 718.03. Withholding taxes from qualifying wages
Status: in_force

September 14, 2016 Senate Bill 172 - 131st General Assembly (A)(1) Each employer, agent of an employer, or other payer located or doing business in a municipal corporation that imposes a tax on income in accordance with this chapter shall withhold from each employee an amount equal to the qualifying wages of the employee earned by the employee in the municipal corporation multiplied by the applicable rate of the municipal corporation's income tax, except for qualifying wages for which withholding is not required under section 718.011 of the Revised Code or division (D) or (F) of this section. An employer, agent of an employer, or other payer shall deduct and withhold the tax from qualifying wages on the date that the employer, agent, or other payer directly, indirectly, or constructively pays the qualifying wages to, or credits the qualifying wages to the benefit of, the employee. (2) In addition to withholding the amounts required under division (A)(1) of this section, an employer, agent of an employer, or other payer may also deduct and withhold, on the request of an employee, taxes for the municipal corporation in which the employee is a resident. (B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section, an employer, agent of an employer, or other payer shall remit to the tax administrator of a municipal corporation the greater of the income taxes deducted and withheld or the income taxes required to be deducted and withheld by the employer, agent, or other payer according to the following schedule: (a) Taxes required to be deducted and withheld shall be remitted monthly to the tax administrator if the total taxes deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld by the employer, agent, or other payer on behalf of the municipal corporation in the preceding calendar year exceeded two thousand three hundred ninety-nine dollars, or if the total amount of taxes deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld on behalf of the municipal corporation in any month of the preceding calendar quarter exceeded two hundred dollars. Payments under division (B)(1)(a) of this section shall be made to the tax administrator not later than fifteen days after the last day of each month. (b) Any employer, agent of an employer, or other payer not required to make payments under division (B)(1)(a) of this section of taxes required to be deducted and withheld shall make quarterly payments to the tax administrator not later than the last day of the month following the last day of each calendar quarter. (2) Notwithstanding division (B)(1) of this section, a municipal corporation may require, by resolution, ordinance, or rule, an employer, agent of an employer, or other payer to do any of the following: (a) Remit taxes deducted and withheld semimonthly to the tax administrator if the total taxes deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld on behalf of the municipal corporation in the preceding calendar year exceeded eleven thousand nine hundred ninety-nine dollars, or if the total amount of taxes deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld on behalf of the municipal corporation in any month of the preceding calendar year exceeded one thousand dollars. The payment under division (B)(2)(a) of this section shall be made to the tax administrator not later than one of the following: (i) If the taxes were deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld during the first fifteen days of a month, the third banking day after the fifteenth day of that month; (ii) If the taxes were deducted and withheld or required to be deducted and withheld after the fifteenth day of a month and before the first day of the immediately following month, the third banking day after the last day of that month. (b) Make payment by electronic funds transfer to the tax administrator of all taxes deducted and withheld on behalf of the municipal corporation if the employer, agent of an employer, or other payer is required to make payments electronically for the purpose of paying federal taxes withheld on payments to employees under section 6302 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 C.F.R. 31.6302-1, or any other federal statute or regulation. The payment of tax by electronic funds transfer under this division does not affect an employer's, agent's, or other payer's obligation to file any return as required under this section. (C) An employer, agent of an employer, or other payer shall make and file a return showing the amount of tax withheld by the employer, agent, or other payer from the qualifying wages of each employee and remitted to the tax administrator. Unless the tax administrator requires all individual taxpayers to file a tax return under section 718.05 of the Revised Code, a return filed by an employer, agent, or other payer under this division shall be accepted by a tax administrator and municipal corporation as the return required of an employee whose sole income subject to the tax under this chapter is the qualifying wages reported by the employee's employer, agent of an employer, or other payer. (D) An employer, agent of an employer, or other payer is not required to withhold municipal income tax with respect to an individual's disqualifying disposition of an incentive stock option if, at the time of the disqualifying disposition, the individual is not an employee of either the corporation with respect to whose stock the option has been issued or of such corporation's successor entity. (E)(1) An employee is not relieved from liability for a tax by the failure of the employer, agent of an employer, or other payer to withhold the tax as required under this chapter or by the employer's, agent's, or other payer's exemption from the requirement to withhold the tax. (2) The failure of an employer, agent of an employer, or other payer to remit to the municipal corporation the tax withheld relieves the employee from liability for that tax unless the employee colluded with the employer, agent, or other payer in connection with the failure to remit the tax withheld. (F) Compensation deferred before June 26, 2003, is not subject to any municipal corporation income tax or municipal income tax withholding requirement to the extent the deferred compensation does not constitute qualifying wages at the time the deferred compensation is paid or distributed. (G) Each employer, agent of an employer, or other payer required to withhold taxes is liable for the payment of that amount required to be withheld, whether or not such taxes have been withheld, and such amount shall be deemed to be held in trust for the municipal corporation until such time as the withheld amount is remitted to the tax administrator. (H) On or before the last day of February of each year, an employer shall file a withholding reconciliation return with the tax administrator listing the names, addresses, and social security numbers of all employees from whose qualifying wages tax was withheld or should have been withheld for the municipal corporation during the preceding calendar year, the amount of tax withheld, if any, from each such employee, the total amount of qualifying wages paid to such employee during the preceding calendar year, the name of every other municipal corporation for which tax was withheld or should have been withheld from such employee during the preceding calendar year, any other information required for federal income tax reporting purposes on Internal Revenue Service form W-2 or its equivalent form with respect to such employee, and other information as may be required by the tax administrator. (I) The officer or the employee of the employer, agent of an employer, or other payer with control or direct supervision of or charged with the responsibility for withholding the tax or filing the reports and making payments as required by this section, shall be personally liable for a failure to file a report or pay the tax due as required by this section. The dissolution of an employer, agent of an employer, or other payer does not discharge the officer's or employee's liability for a failure of the employer, agent of an employer, or other payer to file returns or pay any tax due. (J) An employer is required to deduct and withhold municipal income tax on tips and gratuities received by the employer's employees and constituting qualifying wages only to the extent that the tips and gratuities are under the employer's control. For the purposes of this division, a tip or gratuity is under the employer's control if the tip or gratuity is paid by the customer to the employer for subsequent remittance to the employee, or if the customer pays the tip or gratuity by credit card, debit card, or other electronic means. (K) A tax administrator shall consider any tax withheld by an employer at the request of an employee when such tax is not otherwise required to be withheld by this chapter to be tax required to be withheld and remitted for the purposes of this section.
