From Canfield Approves Type 2 Annexation for Upscale Housing Development

How could the Type 2 annexation in Canfield affect Columbus's financial support?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Annexation changes in Canfield may alter Columbus's tax revenue reimbursement. The Type 2 annexation of 11 acres in Canfield changes how local taxes are distributed, as the township would receive property taxes on the improved land while the city receives income taxes. Because Columbus provides financial reimbursement to Canfield for tax revenue, this shift in the local tax base could potentially alter the amount of financial support provided by Columbus to the city.
