Find the office that handles your question

Property valuation, unpaid property taxes, deed records, and court judgments are different tasks. Use the property address and the record or notice in front of you to choose the matching office. The county offices are separate from City of Salem offices; the Treasurer, Recorder, and Clerk addresses listed below are in Lisbon.

The City of Salem points residents to an address-number-range list to check whether a home is inside city limits. Check the exact address before choosing a city office; a Salem mailing address alone does not settle that question.

Local records and offices

Salem and Columbiana County offices: what each handles

Start with the office for the specific record. The Auditor’s valuation search, Treasurer’s tax account, Recorder’s deed records, and court docket are not interchangeable.

City of Salem Planning & Zoning

City of Salem only · planning, zoning, and checking whether an address is within city limits

Use the City’s Planning & Zoning page and address-number-range list to check whether a home is inside Salem city limits. A Salem mailing address alone does not establish that the property is in the City.

The City’s address list is a local check for an address. The Treasurer, Recorder, and Clerk addresses below are in Lisbon; those are county contacts, not City of Salem offices.

Columbiana County Auditor

Columbiana County · property records, valuation, sales, and tax-estimator searches

Use the Auditor’s official search links for an address, owner, parcel number, sales, or tax-estimator information. Check the parcel’s county record for the property-specific valuation; unpaid tax balances are a Treasurer question.

For the Ohio conveyance fee, start with the Auditor rather than the Recorder, which handles deed recording.

Columbiana County Recorder

Columbiana County · recorded deeds and other recorded documents

Use the Recorder for a deed index, deed recording, or another recorded-document question. Deed records are different from assessed value, unpaid property taxes, and court judgments; the Recorder is not the conveyance-fee contact.

Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division

Columbiana County · Probate Division and estate-court information

Use the Ohio courts directory to find the Probate Division and its local-rules link. The County Clerk lists Probate Court fees; for a specific estate or court judgment, confirm the correct division and current contact before sending papers.

The County Clerk’s general Clerk of Courts contact route is 105 S. Market St., Lisbon, OH 44432 · (330) 424-7777. Call to confirm the current Probate Division contact and location.

Ohio selling cost

Ohio conveyance fee

Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law sets the fee at $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. Ask the Columbiana County Auditor what amount applies to your transfer. When you sell to us, we pay it.

This is the Ohio conveyance fee, not your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. The Recorder handles deed recording, not the conveyance fee.

Salem and Columbiana County resource questions

Which Columbiana County office handles a property value or parcel record?

Use the Columbiana County Auditor’s official property-search links for address, owner, parcel-number, sales, and tax-estimator searches. Check the county record for the specific property. The Auditor is separate from the Treasurer, Recorder, and Clerk of Courts.

Who can answer a question about unpaid property taxes?

Contact the Columbiana County Treasurer at (330) 424-9514, 105 S. Market St. in Lisbon, for property-tax bills and delinquent taxes. The Auditor handles valuation and property-record searches.

Where can I look up a deed or another recorded document?

Use the Columbiana County Recorder at (330) 424-9517, 105 South Market Street in Lisbon, for deed-recording and recorded-document questions. A deed record is not a court judgment or an unpaid-tax balance.

Which office should I contact about a probate case or court judgment?

The Ohio courts directory lists the Columbiana County Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division, and the County Clerk lists Probate Court fees. The Clerk of Courts’ general contact is (330) 424-7777 at 105 S. Market St. in Lisbon; call to confirm which division and current contact handle your specific court record. A court record is separate from a deed at the Recorder.

How can I check whether a home is inside Salem city limits?

Start with the City of Salem Planning & Zoning page and its address-number-range list. Check the exact address; a Salem mailing address alone does not establish that the property is inside the City.

Who can tell me the Ohio conveyance fee for a Columbiana County property?

Ask the Columbiana County Auditor what conveyance fee applies to the property transfer. The Auditor is the local route for that question; the Recorder handles deed recording. The Ohio fee and seller next step are described above.

Where can I compare Salem selling options and planning numbers?

Use the Salem market report, seller guide, as-is sale article, and process page linked above. The home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you change planning inputs; market context is not a value or offer for your specific house.
