Lakemore council agrees to participate in regional income tax non‑filing delinquency program
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 7475-2025 to participate in the Regional Income Tax Agency’s non-filing delinquency program, including the use of administrative subpoenas for taxpayers who do not respond to non-filing letters.
The Village of Lakemore Council voted to adopt Resolution 7475-2025, agreeing that the village will participate in the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) non-filing delinquency program for local income taxes.
Why it matters: Participation authorizes RITA to operate the village’s non-filing enforcement workflow, including issuance of administrative subpoenas where taxpayers fail to respond to non-filing notices. That shifts certain collection and enforcement responsibilities to the regional agency and establishes a formal relationship for delinquency follow-up.
What the resolution says: The resolution states the village will participate in both parts of the delinquency program and explicitly notes that an administrative subpoena may be issued to taxpayers who fail to respond to a non-filing letter. The resolution was read on the record and declared an emergency measure to take effect immediately.
Action taken: Council dispensed with readings and adopted Resolution 7475-2025; roll-call votes were recorded with affirmative votes from councilmembers present. The resolution was adopted as an emergency measure.
Discussion versus action: The meeting record shows council adopted the resolution; the adoption authorizes village participation but does not itself list individual taxpayers or subpoena use cases. Operational steps and any notices to taxpayers will be handled through RITA as specified by the program.
Next steps: With the resolution adopted, village administration will work with RITA to enroll in the non-filing delinquency program and implement the program procedures. The resolution text indicates immediate effect where allowed by law.
