Delaware County Municipal Unit Strategic Task Force Pre-Planning Meeting

The meeting focused on the legislative framework regarding local income tax (LIT) restructuring established by House Enrolled Act 1210. Participants discussed the task force's role in developing a non-binding plan for tax distributions, strategies for maintaining tax rate neutrality, and the importance of cross-departmental collaboration. Presentations detailed the current LIT distribution buckets—including certified shares, public safety, economic development, and property tax relief—and compared them against the proposed new structure, which creates distinct categories for county services, fire and EMS funding, and non-municipal unit support.
