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[1] 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.
Municipality names are not unique: there is a village of Centerville and a city of Centerville ; also a city of Oakwood and two similarly named villages: Oakwood, Cuyahoga County, Ohio and Oakwood, Paulding County, Ohio .
