Ohio Real Estate Transfer Tax Calculator

Compute the Ohio Real Property Conveyance Fee that the county auditor collects when a deed is recorded — the state mandatory fee of $1 per $1,000 (ORC § 319.54(G)(3), = 0.10%) plus each county's permissive fee of up to $3 per $1,000 (ORC § 322.02, = 0.30%). Most populous Ohio counties — Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton, Summit, Montgomery, Lucas, Stark, Butler and others — charge the full $3 permissive, for a combined $4/$1,000 (0.40%). Surfaces the seller-pays-by-default convention, lists the § 319.54(G)(3)(b) exemptions (gifts to family, spouse-to-spouse, inheritance, trust transfers to the same beneficial owner, transfers to government), and flags that Ohio — unlike New York or Florida — imposes no separate mortgage recording tax.
