In the
U.S. state of Ohio
, a city is legislatively defined as a municipality of
population 5,000 or more. The 2008-2009 Roster provided by
the Ohio Secretary of State enumerates 251 cities (and 681
villages) in the state.
Section 703.01(A) of the
Ohio Revised
Code states:
Municipal corporations, which, at the last federal
census, had a population of five thousand or more, or five thousand
registered resident electors or resident voters as provided in
section 703.011 of the Revised Code, are cities.
All other municipal corporations are villages.
Cities, which, at any federal census, have a population
of less than five thousand, shall become villages.
Villages, which, at any federal census, have a
population of five thousand or more, shall become
cities.
The requirements for incorporating as a city however are more
stringent. In order to incorporate as a city the territory to be
incorporated must meet the following conditions per section 707.29
of the
Ohio Revised Code:
- It shall consist of not less than four square miles.
- It shall have a population of not less than twenty-five
thousand and a population density of at least one thousand persons
per square mile.
- It shall have an assessed valuation of real, personal, and
public utility property subject, except as otherwise provided in
division (A)(3) of this section, to general property taxation of at
least twenty-five hundred dollars per capita. In determining per
capita assessed valuation under division (A)(3) of this section,
the assessed valuation of any tangible personal property,
buildings, structures, improvements, and fixtures that are exempt
from taxation under division (B) of section 5709.081 [5709.08.1] of
the Revised Code shall be added to the assessed valuation of real,
personal, and public utility property subject to general property
taxation.
- It shall not completely surround an existing municipal
corporation.
- It shall be contiguous.
