Useful offices
Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different records. Start with the office that matches the notice or question, and use the property address or case number when you contact it. County-office links below are for Scioto County; City of Portsmouth code and permit rules apply within city limits.
Scioto County · property valuation and parcel information
Use the Auditor portal for address, owner, parcel, and sales searches. It also links separately to the County Treasurer and County Records. A property search is not a current tax payoff or a court-judgment search.
Scioto County · unpaid real-estate tax questions
For an unpaid property-tax balance or payment question, use the Treasurer route linked separately from the Auditor portal. Ask for the current information for the property; the Auditor search is not a payoff statement.
Scioto County · recorded deeds and land records
The Recorder handles deed recording, which is different from the Auditor’s valuation work and from a court judgment. The Auditor portal has a separate County Records link for the county record route.
Scioto County · probate court resources and estate records
For an estate-related house, use the Probate Court’s local page to find probate-office contact details and resources. The case record and any court order determine the next question; the office link does not decide who may sign for a particular property.
Scioto County · county conveyance standards and office contact
The Engineer publishes county real-estate conveyance standards and courthouse contact information. Use the standards as local routing information and confirm property-specific recording questions with the appropriate county office.
Portsmouth city limits · code and property-maintenance notices
The City says its Code Enforcement officers handle city ordinances and property-maintenance codes for residential and commercial properties within Portsmouth city limits. Use the actual address and notice when asking about a case.
Portsmouth city limits · building permits and historic-district review
For planned building work, permits, or a question about historic-district review, check the property address with the City. City requirements apply to the property and proposed work, not just its mailing address.
Helpful local rules
Ohio charges a seller a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county may add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). Ask the Scioto County Auditor or title company to confirm the amount for the specific sale.
When you sell to us, we pay it.
The Auditor portal is linked above; do not treat an assessed value or tax search as the conveyance-fee amount for a particular sale.
Check the property address and planned exterior work with the City Building Department before applying for permits.

Questions
Start with the Scioto County Auditor for property valuation and parcel information. Its portal has address, owner, parcel, and sales searches. For unpaid property taxes, use the separate County Treasurer route linked from the Auditor portal.
Use the Scioto County Treasurer route linked separately from the Auditor portal and ask for current information for the property. An Auditor property search is not a tax payoff statement.
For a recorded deed, use the County Records link listed separately in the Scioto County Auditor portal; deed recording is the Recorder’s function. A court judgment is a court record, not a deed or property-valuation entry. Check the court and case number on the notice, and use the Ohio Supreme Court trial-court directory if you need to locate the court.
Use the Scioto County Probate Court page to find probate-office contacts and resources. Check the actual estate record, will, and any court order before making a plan for who can sign.
For a code or property-maintenance notice inside Portsmouth city limits, contact City Code Enforcement. For building permits or historic-district review, use the City Building Department. Confirm the property address with the City because city requirements are address-specific.
