All Dover residents must file their income taxes with the city this year.
Previously, the city only required filing by residents who paid less than Dover’s 1.5 percent income tax rate, rental owners and self-employed individuals.
Dover City Auditor Nicole Stoldt says now every resident 18 and older with qualifying income must file locally.
Dover will still give credit for income taxes paid in other cities. Forms are on the city’s website and at the auditor’s office. Residents can also bring their W-2’s to the office and the auditor will process them for city income tax.
Stoldt says 2025 was a strong year for income tax collection in Dover with 10.5-million-dollars collected.
Mayor Shane Gunnoe says residential, commercial and industrial expansion in Dover added more than 25-million dollars in new payroll in the city in 2025.
