The Finance Department maintains a general accounting system for the municipality and for each of its offices, departments, and agencies. The Director of Finance is responsible for exercising financial budgetary control over each office, department, and agency and must keep separate accounts for the items of appropriation contained in the municipal budget. The Finance Department collects and disburses funds for each department of the City. These funds include payroll and health insurance benefit payments. The City has a 1-½% income tax for residents of North Canton and for those employees working within the City limits. Tax returns must be filed by April 15 for individuals and businesses reporting on a calendar year or 105 days from the end of the fiscal year. The Water Administration Department is responsible for utility billing and collections. Utilities provided by the City are water, sewer, and garbage service. We are currently replacing manual read water meters with new electronic scannable meters.
