Franklin County source paths for sellers
- Conveyance: Franklin County Auditor source path states a general $3 per $1,000 conveyance fee unless homestead/exemption applies, plus $3 minimum and $0.50 transfer tax for non-exempt transfers.
- Recording: Franklin County Recorder fee path lists $34 for the first two pages, $8 per additional page, and other document/payment rules. Final recording costs vary by document.
- Probate and foreclosure: Franklin County Probate Court and Sheriff/Real Estate Sales pages are source paths only. Property-specific authority, deadlines, payoff, lien, tax, and sale-status conclusions need official case/parcel/title/legal review.
What this means for as-is sellers
A healthy citywide data row does not remove property-level friction. Repairs, tenant access, cleanout, probate authority, payoff, liens, foreclosure timing, title issues, and seller deadlines can still make a direct cash offer worth comparing against listing and waiting.
