Find the right help for the question in front of you
A property value, unpaid-tax balance, recorded deed, and court judgment are different records. Start with the office or notice that matches your question; bring the property address, parcel number, bill, or case details when you contact an office.
Local offices
Hamilton County offices and what they handle
These offices serve Hamilton County. The Auditor is the starting point for county property-value questions, the Recorder for deeds and recorded land documents, and Probate Court for estate-related court matters. None of those records alone confirms an unpaid-tax payoff or whether a separate court judgment has been satisfied.
Hamilton County Recorder
Hamilton County · deeds and recorded real-estate documents
Use the Recorder to locate a deed or another recorded land document. A recorded deed is a different record from a tax balance or a court judgment.
Hamilton County Probate Court
Hamilton County · estate-related court matters
If a house is part of an estate, start with the Probate Court’s official resources for estate-related court routing. Use the actual estate record when asking who may act for the property.
For an unpaid-tax balance or a court judgment, use the current tax bill, notice, or court docket to find the office named on that record and confirm its amount and status. A title company can review how property- specific records affect a closing.
Ohio seller rule
Ohio’s conveyance fee
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Revised Code §§319.54 and 322.02). Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the amount that applies to your Hamilton County transfer.
When you sell to us, we pay it.

Cincinnati and Hamilton County resource questions
Which Hamilton County office should I contact about a property value?
Start with the Hamilton County Auditor for a county property-value or parcel-record question. An assessed value is not a tax payoff or a promise of what a buyer will pay.
Where can I find a deed, unpaid-tax balance, or court judgment?
The Hamilton County Recorder is the starting point for recorded deeds and land documents. An unpaid-tax balance and a court judgment are different records: use the current tax bill or court notice and docket to identify the office or court handling that item, then confirm the amount and status there. A title company can review how property-specific records affect a closing.
Where should I start with an inherited Cincinnati house?
Use the Hamilton County Probate Court’s official resources for estate-related court routing. The estate record and the property’s title determine who may act, so use the actual case information when asking about the house.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the amount that applies to your Hamilton County transfer. When you sell to us, we pay it.
