Amelia is an unincorporated community and former village in Pierce and Batavia townships in Clermont County, Ohio, United States.

In November 2019, residents voted to dissolve the village over the imposition of a local income tax.

[3] Amelia was by far the most populous village in state history to be dissolved and the first to be partitioned between two townships.

Under state law, the village would have been required to become a city after it posted a population over 5,000 in the 2020 census.

In preparation for becoming a city, it adopted a charter in November 2017,[1][16] though the change in status was not reflected in the Ohio Secretary of State's roster of municipalities.

[19][20] On February 5, 2018, the council unanimously adopted the proposed one-percent income tax in an emergency ordinance, without the usual three readings, to meet a deadline imposed by the Regional Income Tax Authority.

[2] Former councilmember Renee Gerber subsequently led a petition drive for dissolution.

A June 29 council meeting became heated over the tax and dissolution campaign.

[15] Gerber was elected to serve as the village's final mayor during a yearlong transition period under the oversight of the Ohio State Auditor,[3][9] but upon the auditor's advice, Hart was retained to carry out the village's remaining administrative responsibilities.

Amelia residents will continue to pay the one-percent income tax until at least $3 million in debt is paid off.

[18] Amelia was by far the most populous village in state history to be dissolved and the first to be partitioned between two townships.

[8][9] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village had a total area of 1.79 square miles (4.64 km2), all land.
