Cuyahoga County · land-document transfer, recording, and property records
For a question about land-document transfer, recording, or county property records, start with this Fiscal Officer division. These records are separate from a court matter or an estate filing.

Use the Probate Court as the county resource for an estate-related court question. For the actual case and who may act for an estate, check the estate record and get case-specific guidance.
Official Cuyahoga County Probate Court page ↗Helpful Ohio rule
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). The selected Ohio guidance does not establish a total Cuyahoga County rate, so ask the closing professional to confirm the fee for your property. When you sell to us, we pay it.

Reviews and contact
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
