Useful offices
Match the office to the question. Have the property address, parcel details, case number, or current notice ready when you contact them.
Athens County · property valuation and conveyance-fee questions
Start with the Auditor for assessed value and property-valuation questions, and for questions about the Ohio conveyance fee. An assessed value is not the current amount due on a property-tax account; the Treasurer handles tax balances and delinquencies.
Athens County · real-estate taxes, delinquencies, payment plans, and tax-foreclosure information
Use the Treasurer for a real-estate-tax account, an unpaid balance, a delinquency notice, or the County’s payment-plan and tax-foreclosure information. Ask about the specific parcel and current notice; a property’s assessed value is a different record.

Athens County · deeds and recorded real-estate documents
Use the Recorder for a deed or another recorded document that conveys an interest in real estate. The Recorder’s office is for recorded documents, not property valuation, tax balances, or court judgments.

Athens County · local probate contact route
For an inherited house, use the Court’s probate contact to find the relevant estate-record route. The estate papers determine the proper court, who has authority to act, and who may sign for a particular property.

City of Athens only · permits, rental compliance, inspections, and code-enforcement questions

Helpful local rule
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and the county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). Ask the Athens County Auditor about the fee that applies to a specific sale; the Treasurer handles an existing property-tax balance.
For the Ohio conveyance fee: When you sell to us, we pay it.

Start with the Athens County Auditor for assessed value and conveyance-fee questions; the Auditor’s Office link is above. An assessed value is different from a current property-tax balance; the Treasurer handles real-estate-tax accounts and delinquencies.
Contact the Athens County Treasurer at 740-592-3231 and use the payment-plan and tax-foreclosure links above. Ask about the specific parcel, balance, and current notice. Do not assume that a sale or payment-plan request changes a deadline; confirm next steps with the office handling the notice.
The Athens County Recorder at 740-592-3228 handles deeds and other recorded real-estate documents. A court judgment is a court-record question, not a deed-recording question; use the court and case information shown on the court notice rather than asking the Recorder to resolve it.
The Athens County Probate/Juvenile Court at 740-592-3251 is a local probate contact route. Use the actual estate record and court papers to identify the right venue and who can act for the property.
For a property inside the City of Athens, contact the City’s Office of Code Enforcement and Community Development at 740-592-3306. It handles City permit, rental-compliance, inspection, and code-enforcement routing. County and other municipal offices are separate, so check the property’s actual location.
