Lorain's tax rate is 2%.

E-filing is available to file your City of Lorain Income Tax Return. You can also check for estimated payments, file an extension and even pay your tax liability at this site.  Simply go to Lorain Income Tax e-file, where you will be directed to another secure website. You will need your Social Security number and PIN number which will be mailed to all active income tax accounts every January in order to access your account. If you do not receive this information, you may obtain your PIN number by calling or emailing our office.

When filing an extension, you MUST supply the Income Tax office with a copy of your Federal Extension on or before the April 15th deadline or a $25.00 late penalty will be assessed. This will extend the filing date, however it WILL NOT extend the date for the payment of your tax liability.

The Income Tax department staff will be available to prepare your return for your convenience if you choose not to use the e-file system.
