South Bend (St. Joseph County) paycheck FAQ

How does St. Joseph County compare to neighboring Elkhart or LaPorte?
St. Joseph's 1.75% sits above several adjacent northern Indiana counties, which generally run 1.25% to 1.5%. The county's CIT reflects local revenue choices, including school funding and county service costs.
If I live in South Bend but work in a Notre Dame neighboring township, what applies?
Indiana's CIT is county-wide, not township-specific. Notre Dame sits within St. Joseph County, so a South Bend resident working on campus pays the St. Joseph County 1.75% rate, the same as if they worked in downtown South Bend.
Does Indiana's CIT apply to graduate students or non-resident aliens working on campus?
The CIT applies to wages earned by Indiana residents. Non-resident aliens have specific federal and state tax treatments; the county-level CIT applies to wages earned within Indiana once state residence is established.
