If I call your office on the phone, what information should I have available so that you can help find documents about the property in question?

Tell us the name of the owner or tell us who owned the property immediately prior to the current owner. It will also help if you know the legal description of the property. Mailing addresses are not on file here. If the mailing address is the only information that you have, please call the office of the County Auditor first at 419-734-6740.

Please note that if you obtain information from our office by phone, it is your responsibility to verify its accuracy by examining the documents yourself or having a professional do this work on your behalf.
