Last reviewed: April 20, 2026

Canton levies a 2% municipal income tax on wages, slightly below the 2.25% to 2.5% range used by the largest Ohio cities. The tax is administered locally through the Canton Income Tax Department. Combined with Ohio's progressive state tax (top 3.5%), a Canton resident pays roughly 5.5% in state plus local income tax at higher income levels. Ohio's residence-credit rule applies for commuters who live in Canton and work elsewhere in Stark County or beyond.

Canton, Ohio paycheck FAQ

How does Canton's rate compare to Akron, just up the road?
Canton's 2% rate is below Akron's 2.5%. The two cities sit close together in northeastern Ohio, and the rate gap produces a measurable difference on resident pay stubs for similar incomes.
Does the Canton residence credit fully offset taxes paid to a higher-rate work city?
Ohio's residence-credit rule caps the credit at the work-city rate or the residence-city rate, whichever is lower. For a Canton resident working in a 2.5% city, the credit applied to Canton's liability is 2%, so the resident pays the 0.5% rate difference to the work city, with Canton's line typically zeroed out.
Is the Canton municipal tax separate from Stark County?
Yes. Stark County does not levy a county-level income tax; Canton's 2% is purely a city-level municipal tax. Other Ohio cities in Stark County levy their own rates separately, and there is no county-wide tax overlay.
