“Because the definitions vary somewhat from state to state, what are the local government forms in Ohio and how do they differ?

Examples (some of which may not apply in your state):

city
town
village
township
borough
district”

Unincorporated area: Township

Incorporated area (f/k/a municipal corporation): Village or City

And that's it according to the Ohio Constitution. There are a metric ton of special service district types but those three are the only true general purpose local governments.
