Hart has no city income tax

Here is the ordinary answer: Hart does not charge a city income tax. Oceana County identifies Hart as the county’s only city, and Hart does not appear on Michigan Treasury’s current list of 24 cities that impose an income tax. Living in Hart by itself does not create a city income-tax bill or city return.

Your home address is not the whole question, though. A Hart resident can still owe nonresident city tax on qualifying income sourced inside a Michigan city that levies one. For example, Muskegon’s guidance covers nonresidents who earn taxable income from work or other activity in Muskegon. Work location, remote-work days, business income, and rental income can all change the answer.

So the simple version is: live and earn your income around Hart, and there is normally no city income tax. Earn income inside Muskegon or another taxing city, and check that city’s current forms. This is general information, not tax advice; split work locations or business and rental income are good reasons to ask the city or a tax preparer.
