Effective October 16, 2019, recording fees for most documents will increase by $6.00 due to the passage of HB 166 by the Ohio Legislature, which modifies Ohio Revised Code §§ 317.32 and 317.36, per the Ohio Recorders Association. The Ohio Recorders Association maintains a schedule of fees here.
The Association's website has other vitally important information such as a list, by county, describing:
- availability of online search of indexes;
- availability of online search of indexes and images;
- availability of E-recording;
- restrictions on availability of recording conveyances by mail, and;
- different office hours.
The Recorders perform a vital public function, usually without thanks or acclaim. They and their staffs should be commended for their dedication, and patient service. The Recorders do NOT set fees, so please direct your dissatisfaction, if you have any, to your elected representatives in the Ohio House and Senate.
