Dear Genoa Residents and Businesses:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) will begin collecting municipal income tax for the Village of Genoa. RITA is a non-profit governmental agency established in 1971 under chapter 167 of the Ohio Revised Code and is the largest municipal income tax collection agency in the State of Ohio. The Village of Genoa chose the Regional Income Tax Agency for its ability to offer residents and businesses ePayment, free eFiling capabilities, and its ability to maximize the Village’s tax collection efforts. RITA will be responsible for the administration and collection of all income taxes and will serve as an Agent of the Village of Genoa in this capacity.

After January 1, 2020 all Village of Genoa tax payments and tax forms, for current and prior tax years, are to be sent to RITA. We encourage you to utilize RITA’s electronic filing and payment system as it is fast, secure, and simple to use. The system will be available for your use beginning January 23, 2020.

For those wishing to utilize mail, the remittance address for our secured lockbox center is:

RITA
P.O. Box 477900
Broadview Hts, Ohio 44147-7900

Checks or money orders should be payable to the Regional Income Tax Agency or RITA. Please include your Account Number as indicated above on all payments and correspondence.
Village of Genoa residents will receive an individual post card filing reminder by the end of January. Business accounts will receive Withholding forms and a Net Profit postcard filing reminder by the end of January. Estimated payments for tax year not paid or paid late will be charged penalty and interest.

If you have an existing account with RITA and are already remitting withholding taxes for another RITA municipality, simply add the Genoa withholding tax payment to the RITA Form 11.
