Except as otherwise provided by sections 323.133 , 323.31 , and 5715.19 of the Revised Code, and when the collection of a particular tax is legally enjoined, interest and penalties shall accrue on the unpaid amount as prescribed by section 323.121 of the Revised Code.

Any person claiming to be entitled to or in any way interested in such interest may pay, and the treasurer may receive that proportion of the full amount of the taxes charged and payable for all purposes on the real estate affected, which is represented by the fraction expressing the extent of such interest. The payment so made and received shall be entered on the duplicate, shall be credited by the treasurer at the time of the next succeeding settlement of real estate taxes, and shall have the effect of relieving the undivided interest in such real estate, so entered on the margin of the tax list and duplicate, from the lien of the taxes charged on such duplicate against the real estate. Thereafter, in making up the tax list and duplicate, the auditor shall enter such interest and the proportional value of it separately from the other interests in such land, and shall adjust the value of the latter accordingly.

April 7, 2009 Senate Bill 353 - 127th General Assembly In proceedings brought under section 323.49 of the Revised Code, a finding shall be entered of the amount of taxes and assessments found due and unpaid, of the penalty, interest, costs, and charges, and of the probable annual amount of the rents, issues, and income of such real property, together with the probable costs and expenses of the receivership. If such real property is used in whole or in part by the owner thereof for manufacturing, mercantile, industrial, commercial, or other business purposes, the court of common pleas shall find the annual rental value thereof, which shall be considered as rents, issues, and income of such real property for the purposes of this section. If the court finds that the amount due and unpaid, together with penalty, interest, costs, and other charges, and the costs and expenses of the receivership applied for can be so collected, the court shall order the same to be satisfied out of the rents, issues, and income of such property, shall appoint the county treasurer receiver ex officio thereof, and may consent to the agency of a county land reutilization corporation if requested by the treasurer in a petition filed under division (F) of section 323.49 of the Revised Code; provided that if the court finds that the aggregate probable annual amount of the rents, issues, and income of such real property joined in any one such action is less than two thousand dollars, it shall be conclusively presumed that the amount due and unpaid, together with penalty, interest, costs, and other charges, cannot be collected, and in such event no such order shall be made and the proceedings shall be dismissed, but the court in such event shall adjudge the costs of the proceedings against the defendant unless it is found that the action was improvidently filed, in which event the costs may be adjudged against the treasurer, and the treasurer shall pay the same from an appropriation made for such purposes by the board of county commissioners. Such receiver or the receiver's agent shall not be required to give bond other than the treasurer's official bond. Upon application of any proper party, the court shall, after a full hearing, order the receiver or the receiver's agent to pay out of the rents, issues, and income collected by the receiver or the receiver's agent from such property such expenses in connection with the maintenance and operation of the property as the court finds necessary to secure the greatest income from such property, and shall from such rents, issues, and income order the payment of premiums for fire, windstorm, and public liability insurance. If the real property is used in whole or in part by the owner thereof for manufacturing, mercantile, industrial, commercial, or other business purposes, the court shall order such owner to pay to the receiver or the receiver's agent in equal monthly installments, in advance, the annual rental value of such real property, as found by the court, until the amount for the satisfaction of which such appointment was made, together with costs and expenses of the receivership have been paid in full. If any such installment of rent is not paid when due, such order shall have the effect of a writ authorizing the receiver or the receiver's agent summarily to evict such owner from such real property and to exclude such owner from the use and occupation thereof until such order is complied with. Whenever the amount for the satisfaction of which such appointment has been made, has been fully satisfied out of the rents, issues, and income collected by the receiver or the receiver's agent from such property, and the discharge of the receiver or the receiver's agent has been decreed by the court, the proceedings shall be dismissed, and the owner or any person interested in the real property may upon presentation of a certified copy of the final decree of the court to the treasurer receive receipted tax bills for the payment of the taxes so satisfied.

Such petition shall be signed by the developer and may be signed by each proximate community. The legislative authorities of each such proximate community shall act in behalf of such community. Such petition shall contain: (1) The name of the proposed new community authority; (2) The address where the principal office of the authority will be located or the manner in which the location will be selected; (3) A map and a full and accurate description of the boundaries of the new community district together with a description of the properties within such boundaries, if any, which will not be included in the new community district. (4) A statement setting forth the zoning regulations proposed for zoning the area within the boundaries of the new community district for comprehensive development as a new community, and if the area has been zoned for such development, a certified copy of the applicable zoning regulations therefor; (5) A current plan indicating the proposed development program for the new community district, the land acquisition and land development activities, community facilities, services proposed to be undertaken by the new community authority under such program, the proposed method of financing such activities and services, including a description of the bases, timing, and manner of collecting any proposed community development charges, and the projected total residential population of, and employment within, the new community; (6) A suggested number of members, consistent with section 349.04 of the Revised Code, for the board of trustees; (7) A preliminary economic feasibility analysis, including the area development pattern and demand, location and proposed new community district size, present and future socio-economic conditions, public services provision, financial plan, and the developer's management capability; (8) A statement that the development will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Upon the filing of such petition, the organizational board of commissioners shall determine whether such petition complies with the requirements of this section as to form and substance. The board in subsequent proceedings may at any time permit the petition to be amended in form and substance to conform to the facts by correcting any errors in the description of the proposed new community district or in any other particular. Upon the determination of the organizational board of commissioners that a sufficient petition has been filed in accordance with this section, the board shall fix the time and place of a hearing on the petition for the establishment of the proposed new community authority. Such hearing shall be held not less than ninety-five nor more than one hundred fifteen days after the petition filing date, except that if the petition has been signed by all proximate communities or if the organizational board of commissioners is the legislative authority of the only proximate community for the proposed new community district, such hearing shall be held not less than thirty nor more than forty-five days after the petition filing date. The clerk of the organizational board of commissioners shall give notice thereof by publication once each week for three consecutive weeks, or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code, in a newspaper of general circulation in any county of which a portion is within the proposed new community district. Except where the organizational board of commissioners is the legislative authority of the only proximate community for the proposed new community district, such clerk shall also give written notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing and furnish a certified copy of the petition to the clerk of the legislative authority of each proximate community which has not signed such petition. Except where the organizational board of commissioners is the legislative authority of the only proximate community for the proposed new community district, in the event that the legislative authority of a proximate community which did not sign the petition does not approve by ordinance, resolution, or motion the establishment of the proposed new community authority and does not deliver such ordinance, resolution, or motion to the clerk of the organizational board of commissioners within ninety days following the date of the first publication of the notice of the public hearing, the organizational board of commissioners shall cancel such public hearing and terminate the proceedings for the establishment of the new community authority. Upon the hearing, if the organizational board of commissioners determines by resolution that the proposed new community district will be conducive to the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare, and is intended to result in the development of a new community, the board shall by its resolution, declare the new community authority to be organized and a body politic and corporate with the corporate name designated in the resolution, and define the boundary of the new community district. In addition, the resolution shall provide the method of selecting the board of trustees of the new community authority and fix the surety for their bonds in accordance with section 349.04 of the Revised Code. If the organizational board of commissioners finds that the establishment of the district will not be conducive to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or is not intended to result in the development of a new community, it shall reject the petition thereby terminating the proceedings for the establishment of the new community authority. (B)(1) At any time after the creation of a new community authority, the developer may file an application with the clerk of the organizational board of commissioners with which the original petition was filed, or the organizational board of commissioners appointed pursuant to division (F)(5) of section 349.01 of the Revised Code, setting forth a general description of territory it desires to add or to delete from such district, that such change will be conducive to the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare, and will be consistent with the development of a new community and will not jeopardize the plan of the new community. (2) If the territory to be added or deleted from a new community district meets the criteria described in either division (F)(3) or (4) of section 349.01 of the Revised Code, and the original petition was not filed with the legislative authority of the municipal corporation or the board of township trustees of the township described in those divisions, the developer shall also file a copy of the application to the clerk of that legislative authority or township fiscal officer. (3) If the developer is not a municipal corporation, port authority, or county, all of such an addition to such a district shall be owned by, or under the control through leases of at least seventy-five years' duration, options, or contracts to purchase, of the developer. (4) Upon the filing of the application, the organizational board of commissioners shall follow the same procedure as required by this section in relation to the original petition for the establishment of the proposed new community. The organizational board of commissioners also may determine by resolution to add territory to such district, provided that the owner or other person who controls such territory through leases of at least forty years' duration, options, or contracts to purchase files a written consent to the addition of such territory with the clerk of the organizational board of commissioners, and the developer does not object to the addition of such territory by filing a written objection with the clerk of the organizational board of commissioners before the adoption of the resolution adding such territory to the district. The organizational board of commissioners shall follow the same procedure as required by this section in relation to the original petition for the establishment of the proposed new community when adopting such a resolution. (C) If all or any part of the new community district is annexed to one or more existing municipal corporations, their legislative authorities may appoint persons to replace any appointed citizen member of the board of trustees. The number of such trustees to be replaced by the municipal corporation shall be the number, rounded to the lowest integer, bearing the proportionate relationship to the number of existing appointed citizen members as the acreage of the new community district within such municipal corporation bears to the total acreage of the new community district. If any such municipal corporation chooses to replace an appointed citizen member, it shall do so by ordinance, the term of the trustee being replaced shall terminate thirty days from the date of passage of such ordinance, and the trustee to be replaced shall be determined by lot. Each newly appointed member shall assume the term of the member's predecessor. Last updated February 19, 2025 at 9:47 AM

Status: in_force

September 30, 2025 House Bill 96 - 136th General Assembly (A) For each alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health service district, there shall be appointed a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services. As provided in this section, the board shall consist of eighteen members, fifteen members, fourteen members, twelve members, or nine members. In a single-county district, the size of the board shall be determined by the board of county commissioners representing the county that constitutes the district. In a joint-county district, the size of the board shall be determined jointly by all of the boards of county commissioners representing the counties that constitute the district. The determination of board size shall be made by selecting one of the options described in division (B) of this section. After an option is selected and implemented, a subsequent determination of board size may be made, except that subsequent determinations shall not occur more frequently than once every four calendar years. If a selected option would result in a change in board size, before the option may be implemented the board of county commissioners or boards of county commissioners, as the case may be, shall send a representative to a meeting of the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services to solicit feedback about the matter. After considering any feedback received, the board or boards of county commissioners may proceed with implementing the change in board size. If the change results in a reduction of board members, the reduction shall be implemented by not filling vacancies as they occur. To implement a selected option that would result in the establishment of a new board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services or in a change in size of an existing board, the board or boards of county commissioners, as the case may be, shall adopt a resolution specifying the board size that has been selected. The board or boards of county commissioners also shall notify the department of behavioral health of the board size that has been selected. (B)(1) In the case of a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services that is established on or after October 3, 2023, any of the following options may be selected for purposes of division (A) of this section: (a) To establish the board as an eighteen-member board; (b) To establish the board as a fifteen-member board; (c) To establish the board as a fourteen-member board; (d) To establish the board as a twelve-member board; (e) To establish the board as a nine-member board; (f) To change the board's size after it has been established by selecting a number of members that is eighteen, fifteen, fourteen, twelve, or nine, as the case may be. (2) In the case of a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services that existed immediately prior to October 3, 2023, either of the following options may be selected for purposes of division (A) of this section: (a) To continue the board's operation as an eighteen-member or fourteen-member board, as a board of that size was authorized prior to October 3, 2023, in which case no further action is required; (b) To change the board's size by selecting a number of members that is eighteen, fifteen, fourteen, twelve, or nine as the case may be. (C) All members shall be residents of the service district. The membership shall, as nearly as possible, reflect the composition of the population of the service district as to race and sex. The director of behavioral health shall appoint one-third of the members of the board and the board of county commissioners shall appoint two-thirds of the members. In a joint-county district, the board of county commissioners of each participating county shall appoint members in as nearly as possible the same proportion as that county's population bears to the total population of the district, except that at least one member shall be appointed from each participating county. The director of behavioral health shall ensure that at least one member of the board is a clinician with experience in the delivery of mental health services, at least one member of the board is a person who has received or is receiving mental health services, at least one member of the board is a parent or other relative of such a person, at least one member of the board is a clinician with experience in the delivery of addiction services, at least one member of the board is a person who has received or is receiving addiction services, and at least one member of the board is a parent or other relative of such a person. A single member who meets both qualifications may fulfill the requirement for a clinician with experience in the delivery of mental health services and a clinician with experience in the delivery of addiction services. No member or employee of a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services shall serve as a member of the board of any provider with which the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services has entered into a contract for the provision of services or facilities. No member of a board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services shall be an employee of any provider with which the board has entered into a contract for the provision of services or facilities. No person shall be an employee of a board and such a provider unless the board and provider both agree in writing. No person shall serve as a member of the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services whose spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, grandchild, stepparent, stepchild, stepbrother, stepsister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law serves as a member of the board of any provider with which the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services has entered into a contract for the provision of services or facilities. No person shall serve as a member or employee of the board whose spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, stepparent, stepchild, stepbrother, stepsister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law serves as a county commissioner of a county or counties in the alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health service district. Each year each board member shall attend at least one inservice training session provided or approved by the department of behavioral health. Each member shall be appointed for a term of four years, commencing the first day of July, except that when a board is established on or after October 3, 2023, the initial appointments shall be staggered among the members as equally as possible with terms of two years, three years, and four years. No member shall serve more than two consecutive four-year terms under the same appointing authority. A member may serve for three consecutive terms under the same appointing authority only if one of the terms is for less than two years. A member who has served two consecutive four-year terms or three consecutive terms totaling less than ten years is eligible for reappointment by the same appointing authority one year following the end of the second or third term, respectively. When a vacancy occurs, appointment for the expired or unexpired term shall be made in the same manner as an original appointment. The board shall notify the appointing authority either by certified mail or, if the board has record of an internet identifier of record associated with the authority, by ordinary mail and by that internet identifier of record of any vacancy and shall fill the vacancy within sixty days following that notice. As used in this paragraph, "internet identifier of record" has the same meaning as in section 9.312 of the Revised Code. Any member of the board may be removed from office by the appointing authority at will. Before a member may be removed at will, the member shall be informed in writing of the proposed removal and afforded an opportunity for a public hearing. Upon the absence of a member within one year from either four board meetings or from two board meetings without prior notice, the board shall notify the appointing authority, which may vacate the appointment and appoint another person to complete the member's term. Members of the board shall serve without compensation, but shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties, as defined by rules of the department of behavioral health.

Each year the association shall send a list of the continuing education courses, and the number of hours each county recorder has successfully completed, to the auditor of state and shall provide a copy of this list to any other individual who requests it. The association shall issue a "failure to complete notice" to any county recorder required to complete continuing education courses under this section who fails to successfully complete at least fifteen hours of continuing education courses during the first year of the county recorder's first term of office or to complete a total of at least thirty-nine hours of such courses, including the fifteen hours completed in the first year of the first term, by the end of that term.
