Welcome to the “New Tax Ordinance” educational page!

The links and information on this page have been created to assist all taxpayers with understanding the changes in the new Income Tax Ordinance.

The Troy Income Tax Ordinance had not been substantially updated since written in 1966. Council approved a revised and updated Income Tax Ordinance on Tuesday, September 2, 2008. This new Tax Ordinance will have an effective date of 1/1/09. All tax returns filed on and after 1/1/09 will be subject to this new Tax Ordinance.

To assist tax preparers with understanding the new Income Tax Ordinance, a “New Ordinance Orientation” will be held at City Hall on Thursday, November 6th. There will be a morning and afternoon session. There is no cost to attend, but since seating is limited, registration is required. You can register by printing out the form below and faxing your completed form to the Income Tax Department at (937) 440-1352, or by contacting the Income Tax Department at (937) 339-3861. This session will provide the updates necessary for tax preparers to assist their clients with understanding the new Ordinance changes.

In addition to the updated Income Tax Ordinance, many changes have been made that will make the process of filing your City of Troy Income Tax return much easier. For example, we have created a separate tax return for individuals and businesses to use for filing. Past tax returns had included information and instructions for either a business or individual to file using the same form. Separating these forms and instructions will make it easier to understand how to prepare your return. New tax returns for the 2008 filing season will be available in December 2008 on this website.

Don’t forget – we provide the free service of preparing your City of Troy Income Tax return! Whether it is for a current year filing, or if you have received notification that past tax years must be filed, simply bring your records to our office and we will prepare the Troy tax return for you. There is no charge for this service and no appointment is necessary!

Come back to this site often! New information and educational items of interest will be posted periodically through the coming months!
