(Dearborn County, Ind.) - People who live and work in Dearborn County are now paying more in income tax.
Dearborn County is among eight Indiana counties which have increased their local option income tax rates this year. The higher tax rates took effect January 1, 2019.
Last September, Dearborn County Council approved raising the local income tax rate from 0.6 percent to 1.2 percent to fund public safety and jail operations in the face of declining riverboat gaming revenues in the county's coffers.
