I'm mulling a move to east of Cleveland and like the Chesterland area of Geauga county where, as I understand it, I would face lower county/local income taxes b/c living there would offset the income tax levied at my location of employment. I'd probably work in Lake county or in the city. I won't own property at first. Does anyone know if living in Geauga county would amount to saving much if my income was between 50,000 and say up to that 85,300 level bracket? I wouldn't mind living further north but want to be away from noise of any highway or RR, etc. Seems to me it would be maybe 1.5% or more saved. So if state income tax is that $950 or so plus 3.465% then adding what I believe is the muni rate of 2% for Geauga, I'd be paying that weird $950 plus 5.465% total. Is that right? If there's not a big difference between living in Lake county I'd just live closer to work while I think about where to buy. Thanks for any help on this. Really warming up to a return to friendlier environment of NE Ohio. Cheers, Mac
