Taxes in Cincinnati, Ohio vs Northern Kentucky - Is it Better to Live in OH or KY?

[@Trumatotriumphs]

I have traveled to Kentucky and it was beautiful. The landscape was gorgeous. Love traveling and helping others in different areas of Mahoning and Trumbull County as a mobile notary.

[@TeamSztanyo]

Totally agree!

[@sammott8557]

Me, I live in Covington and work with the city in downtown Cincinnati. It's an easy commute. I find Kentucky to be safer and more neighborly, more quiet, more laid back, less urbanized, just overall pleasant. Yet, the catch is that I have a tax I pay each paycheck to live in Ky / work in Ohio. Yes, Cincinnati has great events, events of which you can enjoy whether you live here or there.

[@TeamSztanyo]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tucky2297]

Yep. Same in Indiana on taxes. I retired from one of the largest companies in downtown Cincinnati area.We had a man who was mad about it! Everytime he got his paycheck we would start him up because he had to pay the tax and lived in Indiana. He fell for it every week! 😆

[@ronart3468]

Kentucky over taxes working people. i will never live there again

[@ajgerbi]

Another catch with living on the Kentucky side of Cincy is that it lacks character, it’s just strip malls and suburban neighborhoods. Very soulless and depressing.

[@sammott8557]

@@ajgerbi Not true. No strip mall near me. And what you call "suburban" is actually historically rich in its architecture.

[@SquiggyWigginz]

I saw some great houses too move into on the west side of Cincinnati!

[@AnthonyLeeBand]

I’ll keep your info, plan on buying a house soon in northern ky

[@TeamSztanyo]

Would love to help.

[@amynewton9558]

You may want to compare the laws. Ohio is a lot less strict on things than KY is. Cincinnati has medical Marijuana, KY has zero tolerance. KY will lock you up for things Cincy will give you a payout ticket for. When you renew your car tags in Cincy it's a set price in KY it is a % of the value of your car. There are major differences depending on what you are looking for.

[@jonathantijerina9216]

I believe the starting point is where you are going to be working, and go from there.

[@deontemeriwether]

Working remote from home in Northern Kentucky saves you the city taxes if your employer is based outside the city

Love the amenities! beautiful historic buildings. hoping to move there from what all I found out more pros than cons. very beautiful city and clean

[@tomarmistead9718]

Cool. Thks and if the people are like you I'm in. Never considered this area, sister lives N of Nashville so im looking around apparently and found you somehow. Is the water pretty clean and used by the public, boat/water toy friendly area? Tom

[@TeamSztanyo]

People will get out some on the Ohio river in the later summer. But there’s not a lot of lakes around. Honestly, for those who love boats, most people will go to lake Cumberland or lake Dale Hollow.

[@kimcircagirl474]

wow 5 kids , thankyou for video, im seriously feeling the Queen City Cinni to retire ,to Husband and i

[@fum00A]

For the most part taxes are less of a consideration than safety, school system quality and neighborhood comfort.

[@gif24gt60]

How is the population diversity in the area as well as ethnic restaurants and ethnic grocery stores or would Colombus be a better fit?

[@31spring]

Columbus would be a better fit.

[@ZeroGDucks]

Visiting Cincy from April til January. This place still does well for ethnic restaurants/groceries 😁 I've seen Indian, Middle Eastern, Ghanaian, even Uzbeki! There's also a nice Latin American presence by Fairfield, as well as Jungle Jim's 🙂

[@hacruz7601]

I really appreciate this video which explains very clearly. I’ll be relocating to Cincinnati in a month. My wife and I are looking for a great, affordable and safe area to live. Could you please provide us with some information?

Tell that to the folks living in places like New York, Illinois, and California. They might feel differently.

[@MrBballtrickshots]

Cincy is clearly great for families, could u provide insight on how it is for college grads and 20 somethings?

[@MrBballtrickshots]

Aside from the economy, which I know I offers plentiful opportunities

[@TeamSztanyo]

I mean ... it's not going to give you the amenities/nightlife of New York, LA, etc., but 3 pro sports teams, a great culinary environment - restaurants and breweries, great art scene, concerts, good hiking/biking trails, central location for many weekend getaway trips. I like it ... but then again, it's been a few years since I've been in my 20s. 😂

[@MrBballtrickshots]

@@TeamSztanyo fair. Any idea on how the nightlife and social scene is

Ohio side has better benefits. Your children would also have a ton of additional options for in-state college tuition like UC, OSU, and MU.

[@itsnick37]

Why doesn’t the state just offer a certain tax rate for income and each county has its own property tax rate…. Maybe each city can have its own sales tax so bigger cities would be higher for that and way lower to shop in smaller towns idk….

[@Dave-zl2ky]

Intel might change this question over time. North of Cincinnati or south of Columbus might be a sweet spot.

If I were living in the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan Area, it would have to be on the NORTH Bank of the Ohio River or in the State of OHIO. For me, this is purely psychological. I know it may not fully apply here, but Cincinnati would be considered NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line. Looking at the history of the two states, Ohio was considered a free state as established by the Northwest Ordinance while Kentucky was a SLAVE state. Once again, for me it would have to be OHIO.

Lol. Old news. KY was a border state anyway for what it's worth. Also, I can promise there is zero difference between Cincinnati and northern Kentucky culturally... they're either both midwest or both southern. Can't just enter a new region of the country by simply crossing a bridge... gotta get into the more rural areas.

The question for me is the violence in Cincinnati - downtown and Northern Kentucky most notably Covington in Newport Kentucky. Up until 2001 I lived in both Cincinnati and Covington Kentucky. Both places were dangerous and are Hell Holes! I left Cincinnati in 2001 because I was attacked downtown after leaving a place called Madonna's buy a man he was taking Paxil and drinking on top of it. You could say that he was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.... I called the cops to let them know what had happened. I have cerebral palsy yet I am the man that got charged for protecting my life, by state's attorney Joe Deters you lied to my attorney by saying the reason why everything happened was because I stole the man's beer, another lie told by the prosecution. On the day the trial started, the state layed down their evidence. In their photos - ( police crime scene photos shows the men's beer with him where he collapsed about two blocks away from where he attacked me. Yet Joe Deters the state attorney for Cincinnati Ohio insisted that I tried to rob a man who is a physical fitness coordinator of the YMCA downtown Cincinnati. Just stated again I have cerebral palsy my whole left side, so I was no match against this man except for the fact that I had a knife to stop him from beating me to death with his karate moves.... I was attacked from behind in the alley behind my apartment building, which was the path of how I got home. For 8 months since 22 days, I lived in a living Hell, because Joe Dieter just wanted to throw me in prison for 8 years for defending myself. What an ass.... Last year I heard that Joe jeter's brother got attacked and hurt pretty bad. Hmmm I just wonder if it was because of the lies that Joe Dieter told my attorney to try to get me to accept a plea bargain of 6 years instead of 8 years in prison. I didn't take the plea bargain. So my attorney said what do you want me to do? I said the same thing I had to do in that alley late at night, FIGHT FOR MY LIFE! After 8 months and 22 days a jury of 12 pronounce me NOT GUILTY! I was so scared but I actually lost a patch of hair on the back of my head due to stress!
