Please be aware that the Clerk of Court is only the record-keeper; we do not take payment for the amount of tax owed. Contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to make arrangements for a payment plan; their number(s) are as follows:

The State of Ohio uses the offices of the 88 county clerks to record, file and maintain tax liens. Costs are incurred with filing, paperwork, computerization, etc. These fees are set by the Ohio Revised Code.
