Broadview Heights city income tax: the short version

• Rate: 2.0% for 2026.
• Who collects it: RITA, the Regional Income Tax Agency. The city doesn’t collect it itself. Your Broadview Heights return is a RITA Form 37.
• Who files: Every Broadview Heights resident aged 18 or over files with RITA each year, whether or not tax is due: a Form 37 return or, if none of your income is taxable, a Declaration of Exemption. Residents under 18 are exempt from the tax and don’t need to file. Retirees with no taxable income file the exemption only once.

What’s different about Broadview Heights

Like Strongsville, Broadview Heights credits only 75% of the tax you pay to your work city, so working elsewhere usually leaves a balance due. Broadview Heights has used RITA since 1972, and its school district is shared with Brecksville.

Broadview Heights has about 19,800 residents (Census Bureau, 2025 estimate), and one in five, 20.8%, is 65 or older. Its workers average a 25.7-minute commute. With the 75% credit, a resident earning $60,000 in Cleveland, Parma or North Royalton still owes Broadview Heights $300.

What Ohio law sets for Broadview Heights

Ohio law sets these for Broadview Heights as for every other city. The tax covers wages, including your 401(k) contributions, plus self-employment and net rental income, but not Social Security or pensions. Returns are due April 15; a federal extension moves the filing date but not the payment date. If you expect to owe $200 or more, you make estimated payments during the year. Our guide explains these rules.
