Ohio conveyance fee and private-system inspections
Summit County conveyance fee
The Ohio conveyance fee in Summit County is $4 for each $1,000 of sale price, rounded up to the next $100 under the county’s published schedule. Some transfers are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not include a seller’s mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
Summit County Fiscal Office Auditor division ↗Private water or sewage-treatment systems
For a residential property with a sewage treatment system or private water system, Summit County Public Health requires a pre-transfer inspection by a registered contractor. A vacant house or a property without running water is not exempt from that inspection requirement.
Inspection findings alone do not prevent transfer, though significant problems can lead to follow-up with the current owner about a public-health nuisance. A buyer may apply for an exemption if the system was inspected or replaced within two years, or if the transfer is conveyance-fee-exempt; the Health District reviews the application. Its linked requirements explain the inspection and exemption process for a property with one of these systems.
