City of Hilliard residents and Income Tax residents whose taxes primarily fund the Recreation and Parks Department receive a discounted rate on membership and programs. To qualify for this discounted rate, residents and employees within Hilliard city limits must provide proof of residency or income.
Hilliard Residents: Anyone who lives within Hilliard Corporate Boundaries and therefore pays property tax to The City of Hilliard (Franklin County Auditor – Tax District 050 – City of Hilliard), receives the lowest rate.Â
Income Tax Residents: Anyone who works within Hilliard Corporate Boundaries and therefore pays income tax to The City of Hilliard qualifies for the Hilliard resident rate.  This will be listed on a pay stub or tax documents. Any amount of income tax paid to the City of Hilliard in the household qualifies the household for income resident status. Â
School District/Non-Residents: Anyone who does not live or work within Hilliard Corporate Boundaries and therefore does not pay either property or income tax to the City of Hilliard pays the nonresident rate. Paying taxes to the Hilliard City School District does not qualify for City of Hilliard residency or Income Tax residency. The Hilliard City School District and City of Hilliard are separate entities. Â
