government in their constitution, we will focus on Ohio

A village or a city may remove itself from a township when it reaches appropriate population requirements

Ohio CitiesIf a village exceeds 5,000 inhabitants then it
becomes a city
As a city, the municipal government may now collect income taxes to fund expensesTaxes can vary from .3 % to 3 %These taxes will be used to provide municipal
services (snow plowing, parks, pool, etc.)
Many Ohio Cities further divide themselves into wards, or smaller sections that allow a more intimate relationship between elected officials and their constituents
