Nothing in this section prohibits the treasurer from instituting such an action before the delinquent tax list or delinquent vacant land tax list that includes the premises has been published pursuant to division (B) of section 5721.03 of the Revised Code if the list is not published within the time prescribed by that division. (B) After the civil action has been instituted, but before the expiration of the applicable redemption period, any person entitled to redeem the land may do so by tendering to the county treasurer an amount sufficient, as determined by the court or board of revision, to pay the taxes, assessments, penalties, interest, and charges then due and unpaid, and the costs incurred in the civil action, and by demonstrating that the property is in compliance with all applicable zoning regulations, land use restrictions, and building, health, and safety codes.

Service shall be complete, if proceeding under division (D)(1) of this section, at the expiration of three weeks after the date of the first publication or, if proceeding under division (D)(2) of this section, the date that is two weeks after the clerk causes the notice to be published on the selected web site. If the prosecuting attorney determines that service upon a defendant may be obtained ultimately only by publication, the prosecuting attorney may cause service to be made simultaneously by certified mail, return receipt requested, ordinary mail, and publication. (E) The county treasurer shall not enforce the lien for taxes against real property to which any of the following applies: (1) The real property is the subject of an application for exemption from taxation under section 5715.27 of the Revised Code and does not appear on the delinquent land duplicate; (2) The real property is the subject of a valid delinquent tax contract under section 323.31 of the Revised Code for which the county treasurer has not made certification to the county auditor that the delinquent tax contract has become void in accordance with that section; (3) A tax certificate respecting that property has been sold under section 5721.32 or 5721.33 of the Revised Code; provided, however, that nothing in this division shall prohibit the county treasurer or the county prosecuting attorney from enforcing the lien of the state and its political subdivisions for taxes against a certificate parcel with respect to any or all of such taxes that at the time of enforcement of such lien are not the subject of a tax certificate. (F) Upon application of the plaintiff, the court shall advance such cause on the docket, so that it may be first heard. The court may order that the proceeding be transferred to the county board of revision if so authorized under section 323.691 of the Revised Code. Last updated September 18, 2023 at 8:46 AM

September 4, 2014 Senate Bill 172 - 130th General Assembly (A)(1) If the county board of revision, upon its own motion or pursuant to a hearing under division (A)(2) of this section, determines that the impositions against a parcel of abandoned land that is the subject of a complaint filed under section 323.69 of the Revised Code exceed the fair market value of that parcel as currently shown by the latest valuation by the auditor of the county in which the land is located, then the board may proceed to hear and adjudicate the case as provided under sections 323.70 and 323.72 of the Revised Code. Upon entry of an order of foreclosure, the parcel may be disposed of as prescribed by division (G) of section 323.73 of the Revised Code. If the board of revision, upon its own motion or pursuant to a hearing under division (A)(2) of this section, determines that the impositions against a parcel do not exceed the fair market value of the parcel as shown by the county auditor's then-current valuation of the parcel, the parcel shall not be disposed of as prescribed by division (G) of section 323.73 of the Revised Code, but may be disposed of as otherwise provided in section 323.73 , 323.74 , 323.75 , 323.77 , or 323.78 of the Revised Code. (2) By a motion filed not later than seven days before a final hearing on a complaint is held under section 323.70 of the Revised Code, an owner or lienholder may file with the county board of revision a good faith appraisal of the parcel from a licensed professional appraiser and request a hearing to determine whether the impositions against the parcel of abandoned land exceed or do not exceed the fair market value of that parcel as shown by the auditor's then-current valuation of that parcel. If the motion is timely filed, the board of revision shall conduct a hearing and shall make a factual finding as to whether the impositions against the parcel exceed or do not exceed the fair market value of that parcel as shown by the auditor's then-current valuation of that parcel. An owner or lienholder must show by a preponderance of the evidence that the impositions against the parcel do not exceed the auditor's then-current valuation of the parcel in order to preclude the application of division (G) of section 323.73 of the Revised Code. (B) Notwithstanding sections 323.65 to 323.79 of the Revised Code to the contrary, for purposes of determining in any proceeding under those sections whether the total of the impositions against the abandoned land exceed the fair market value of the abandoned land, it is prima-facie evidence and a rebuttable presumption that may be rebutted to the county board of revision that the auditor's then-current valuation of that abandoned land is the fair market value of the land, regardless of whether an independent appraisal has been performed.

(2) For settlement dates or any lawful extension of such dates occurring on or after January 1, 2018: (a) On the first five million dollars or an amount as adjusted pursuant to division (B) of this section, nine thousand four hundred ninety-five ten-thousandths of one per cent; (b) On all further sums, one thousand nine hundred ninety-six ten-thousandths of one per cent. If qualifying collections for a year are less than five million dollars or the amount as adjusted under division (B) of this section, the fee shall equal the product of five million dollars or that adjusted amount, as applicable, multiplied by nine thousand four hundred ninety-five ten-thousandths of one per cent. (B) In January of each year, beginning in 2019, if the sum of qualifying charges for all counties in the preceding year exceeded the sum of qualifying charges for all counties in the second preceding year, the tax commissioner shall multiply the percentage by which that sum increased, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one per cent, by the dollar amount described in division (A)(2)(a) of this section that is applicable to the preceding year. For settlement dates or any lawful extension of such dates occurring in 2019 or any year thereafter, the tax commissioner shall adjust the dollar amount described in division (A)(2)(a) of this section applicable to the preceding year by adding the resulting product to that dollar amount and rounding the resulting sum to the nearest ten thousand dollars. That adjusted amount shall apply to each year beginning in the calendar year in which the commissioner makes such an adjustment and to each ensuing calendar year until a calendar year in which the commissioner makes a new adjustment under this division. The tax commissioner shall not make an adjustment under this division for a year in which the qualifying charges in the preceding year did not exceed the qualifying charges in the second preceding year, the rounded percentage calculated under this division does not exceed zero per cent, or the rounded resulting sum equals zero. On or before the first day of February of each year, the tax commissioner shall certify to each county auditor and county treasurer the dollar amount under division (A)(2)(a) of this section applicable to settlement dates or any lawful extension of such dates occurring in that year. (C) In the event any settlement prescribed by law is not made on or before the date prescribed by law for such settlement, on or before the dates prescribed by any lawful extension thereof, the aggregate compensation allowed to the county treasurer shall be reduced one per cent for each day such settlement is delayed after the prescribed date. No penalty shall apply in the event the auditor and treasurer grant all requests for advances up to ninety per cent of the settlement pursuant to section 321.34 of the Revised Code. The compensation allowed in accordance with this section on settlements made on or before the dates prescribed by law, or the reduced compensation allowed in accordance with this section on settlements made after the date prescribed by law or any lawful extension of such date, shall be apportioned ratably by the auditor and deducted from the shares or portion of the revenue payable to the state as well as to the county, township, corporations, and school districts. On all other moneys collected by the treasurer as fees or as advance payments, except moneys received from the treasurer of state, the treasurer's predecessors in office, the treasurer's legal representatives, or the sureties of such predecessors, and except moneys received from the proceeds of the bonds of the county or of any municipal corporation, five-tenths per cent, to be paid upon the warrant of the auditor out of the general fund of the county.

Status: in_force

March 27, 2020 House Bill 197 - 133rd General Assembly A convention facilities authority that levies any of the excise taxes authorized by division (B) or (C) of section 351.021 of the Revised Code or that receives contributions pursuant to division (C) of section 5739.09 of the Revised Code, by resolution may anticipate the proceeds of the levy and issue convention facilities authority tax anticipation bonds, and notes anticipating the proceeds or the bonds, in the principal amount that, in the opinion of the authority, are necessary for the purpose of paying the cost of one or more facilities or parts of one or more facilities, and as able, with the interest on them, be paid over the term of the issue, or in the case of notes anticipating bonds over the term of the bonds, by the estimated amount of the excise taxes or contributions anticipated thereby. The excise taxes or contributions are determined by the general assembly to satisfy any applicable requirement of Section 11 of Article XII, Ohio Constitution. An authority, at any time, may issue renewal tax anticipation notes, issue tax anticipation bonds to pay such notes, and, whenever it considers refunding expedient, refund any tax anticipation bonds by the issuance of tax anticipation refunding bonds whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and issue tax anticipation bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any other authorized purpose. The refunding bonds shall be sold and the proceeds needed for such purpose applied in the manner provided in the bond proceedings to the purchase, redemption, or payment of the bonds to be refunded. Every issue of outstanding tax anticipation bonds shall be payable out of the proceeds of the excise taxes or contributions anticipated and other revenues of the authority that are pledged for such payment. The pledge shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made, and the anticipated excise taxes, contributions, and revenues so pledged and thereafter received by the authority immediately shall be subject to the lien of that pledge without any physical delivery of those excise taxes, contributions, and revenues or further act. The lien of any pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, whether or not such parties have notice of the lien. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the authority's records. Whether or not the bonds or notes are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under Title XIII of the Revised Code, the bonds or notes shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments, subject only to their provisions for registration, if any. The tax anticipation bonds shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature at such time or times, in the case of any such notes or any renewals of such notes not exceeding twenty years from the date of issue of such original notes and in the case of any such bonds or any refunding bonds not exceeding forty years from the date of the original issue of notes or bonds for the purpose, and shall be executed in the manner that the resolution authorizing the bonds may provide. The tax anticipation bonds shall bear interest at such rates, or at variable rate or rates changing from time to time, in accordance with provisions provided in the authorizing resolution, be in such denominations and form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be payable in such medium of payment and at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption, as the authority may authorize or provide. The tax anticipation bonds may be sold at public or private sale, and at, or at not less than the price or prices as the authority determines. If any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before delivery of the bonds, the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be sufficient for all purposes as if the officer had remained in office until delivery of the bonds, and in case the seal of the authority has been changed after a facsimile has been imprinted on the bonds, the facsimile seal will continue to be sufficient for all purposes. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any tax anticipation bonds or any issue of tax anticipation bonds may contain provisions, subject to any agreements with bondholders as may then exist, which provisions shall be a part of the contract with the holders of the bonds, as to the pledging of any or all of the authority's anticipated excise taxes, contributions, and revenues to secure the payment of the bonds or of any issue of the bonds; the use and disposition of revenues of the authority; the crediting of the proceeds of the sale of bonds to and among the funds referred to or provided for in the resolution; limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of the bonds may be applied and the pledging of portions of such proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds or of any issue of the bonds; as to notes issued in anticipation of the issuance of bonds, the agreement of the authority to do all things necessary for the authorization, issuance, and sale of such bonds in such amounts as may be necessary for the timely retirement of such notes; limitations on the issuance of additional bonds; the terms upon which additional bonds may be issued and secured; the refunding of outstanding bonds; the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders may be amended, the amount of bonds the holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; securing any bonds by a trust agreement in accordance with section 351.16 of the Revised Code; any other matters, of like or different character, that in any way affect the security or protection of the bonds. The excise taxes anticipated by the bonds, including bonds anticipated by notes, shall not be subject to diminution by initiative or referendum or by law while the bonds or notes remain outstanding in accordance with their terms, unless provision is made by law or by the authority for an adequate substitute therefor reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, if a trust agreement secures the bonds. Neither the members of the board of directors of the authority nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

Such sale, lease, or other transfer, or retention, and any agreement relating thereto, may be made only after the approval of the county renewal plan by the board.

§ 321.45. Agreements for payment of current taxes
Status: in_force

March 11, 2004 House Bill 127 - 125th General Assembly (A) As used in this section: (1) "Taxpayer" means any person in whose name a parcel of property or manufactured or mobile home is listed on the tax duplicate or a vendee of such property under a purchase agreement or land contract. (2) "Prepayment" means any amount given to the county treasurer by a taxpayer under this section for the treasurer to apply as payment of the taxpayer's total taxes due in accordance with this section. (3) In the case of a parcel of property or a manufactured or mobile home listed on the real property tax list, "taxes," "delinquent taxes," and "current taxes" have the same meanings as in section 323.01 of the Revised Code. In the case of a manufactured or mobile home listed on the manufactured home tax list, "taxes" means manufactured home taxes levied pursuant to section 4503.06 of the Revised Code. (4) "Duplicate" means the treasurer's duplicate of real and public utility property and the manufactured home tax list. (B)(1)(a) A county treasurer may enter into a written agreement with any taxpayer for the payment of current taxes, upon mutually agreed on terms and conditions, under which both of the following occur: (i) The taxpayer agrees to tender prepayments of taxes on a parcel of property or a manufactured or mobile home listed on the tax duplicate in the name of the taxpayer; (ii) The treasurer agrees to accept the prepayments and hold them either in an escrow fund or a separate depository account until the last day that an installment of current taxes may be paid without penalty, at which time the treasurer further agrees to apply, toward the payment of the current taxes due on the parcel or the manufactured or mobile home, the amount of the prepayments collected on the parcel or the manufactured or mobile home. If a discount is not given under division (B)(2) of this section, any earnings on prepayments in an escrow fund or depository account shall be paid to the credit of a special interest account to be used by the treasurer only for the payment of the expenses incurred in establishing and administering the system for collecting prepayments under division (B)(1) of this section. (b) A county treasurer and a taxpayer may enter into both a written agreement for the payment of current taxes under division (B)(1)(a) of this section and a written contract for the payment of delinquent taxes under section 323.31 of the Revised Code. (2) In addition to providing for the items enumerated in division (B)(1) of this section, the agreement may provide for the treasurer to invest prepayments held in the escrow fund or depository account, subject to Chapter 135. of the Revised Code, and apply the investment earnings thereon, after deducting an amount to pay the expenses incurred by the treasurer in establishing and administering the prepayment system, as a discount against the total taxes due of each taxpayer entering into such an agreement. The balance applied to the discounts shall be apportioned among taxpayers in such a manner that the discount credited to a taxpayer for each parcel of property or manufactured or mobile home for which taxes are prepaid is commensurate with the amount of current taxes due, the length of time current taxes are held in escrow, and the expenses incurred by the treasurer to process the prepayments. No discount shall be apportioned to a taxpayer who fails to pay the total taxes due or fails to make prepayments pursuant to the terms of the agreement. (C) A prepayment accepted by a treasurer under an agreement under division (B) of this section does not constitute a payment of taxes until it is applied toward the payment of taxes as provided in this section. A separate prepayment agreement is required for each parcel of property or manufactured or mobile home, except that a taxpayer who makes prepayments on more than one parcel or manufactured or mobile home may enter into a single agreement covering all of the parcels or manufactured or mobile homes. The single agreement shall specify the manner in which each prepayment shall be apportioned among the parcels or manufactured or mobile homes. The treasurer shall keep either a separate record for each parcel or manufactured or mobile home showing the date and amount of each prepayment or a single record for all of the parcels or manufactured or mobile homes owned by a taxpayer showing the date and amount of each prepayment. (D) No treasurer shall fail to apply prepayments toward the payment of taxes as required pursuant to an agreement entered into under division (B) of this section. (E) The treasurer shall give each person who makes a tax prepayment in person at the office of the county treasurer a receipt in the form that the prepayment agreement requires. The treasurer shall give a receipt to a person who makes a tax prepayment to the treasurer by mail only if the taxpayer encloses with the prepayment an addressed envelope with sufficient postage, in which case the treasurer shall insert a receipt for the prepayment in that envelope and deposit it in the mail. The treasurer may refund any amount tendered as a prepayment, if the taxpayer so requests and files with the treasurer an affidavit and the supporting documents the treasurer requires providing that the taxpayer no longer owns the property. The request for the refund shall be made prior to the date of the mailing of a tax bill and escrow statement to the taxpayer. If a taxpayer who has entered into a prepayment agreement pursuant to this section dies before the last day on which an installment of current taxes may be paid without penalty, the treasurer may refund the amount of any prepayments made by that taxpayer to the executor or administrator of the taxpayer's estate. (F) If the treasurer has received any prepayments from a taxpayer, the treasurer shall add to the tax bill required by section 323.13 of the Revised Code a tax escrow statement that shall specify the total amount of prepayments received by the treasurer on or before the date the statement was prepared, the balance of total taxes due for which no prepayment has been received, the amount of any discount to be applied to total taxes due, and the date the statement was prepared. (G) If the total amount of a taxpayer's prepayments to the treasurer made on or before the final date an installment of taxes may be paid without penalty do not equal or exceed the current taxes due on that date, any late penalty or interest due pursuant to section 323.121 of the Revised Code shall be assessed on the balance due after the treasurer has applied the prepayments. If the treasurer fails to apply prepayments received by the treasurer's office in accordance with the terms of an agreement and the total amount of the taxpayer's prepayments equals or exceeds the total taxes due, the taxpayer is relieved of any late penalty or interest imposed under section 323.121 of the Revised Code. (H) The office of the county treasurer shall bear all of the costs of establishing and administering a system for collecting prepayments as permitted by this section. (I) Before the county treasurer commences a prepayment system, the tax commissioner shall approve all procedures and forms to be used in the system. (J) The treasurer may enter into any agreements necessary to enable the taxpayer to make prepayments of taxes to the office of the treasurer through the electronic transfer of funds from an account in the name of the taxpayer at a financial institution, or by credit card.

(B) Each statement submitted under this section shall either: (1) Contain an affirmation by the grantee that the grantor has been asked by the grantee or the grantee's representative whether to the best of the grantor's knowledge either the preceding or the current year's taxes on the real property or the current or following year's taxes on the manufactured or mobile home conveyed will be reduced under division (A) of section 323.152 or under section 4503.065 of the Revised Code and that the grantor indicated that to the best of the grantor's knowledge the taxes will not be so reduced; or (2) Be accompanied by a sworn or affirmed instrument stating: (a) To the best of the grantor's knowledge the real property or the manufactured or mobile home that is the subject of the conveyance is eligible for and will receive a reduction in taxes for or payable in the current year under division (A) of section 323.152 or under section 4503.065 of the Revised Code and that the reduction or reductions will be reflected in the grantee's taxes; (b) The estimated amount of such reductions that will be reflected in the grantee's taxes; (c) That the grantor and the grantee have considered and accounted for the total estimated amount of such reductions to the satisfaction of both the grantee and the grantor. The auditor shall indorse the instrument, return it to the grantee or the grantee's representative, and provide a copy of the indorsed instrument to the grantor or the grantor's representative. (C) Each statement submitted under this section shall either: (1) Contain an affirmation by the grantee that the grantor has been asked by the grantee or the grantee's representative whether to the best of the grantor's knowledge the real property conveyed qualified for the current agricultural use valuation under section 5713.30 of the Revised Code either for the preceding or the current year and that the grantor indicated that to the best of the grantor's knowledge the property conveyed was not so qualified; or (2) Be accompanied by a sworn or affirmed instrument stating: (a) To the best of the grantor's knowledge the real property conveyed was qualified for the current agricultural use valuation under section 5713.30 of the Revised Code either for the preceding or the current year; (b) To the extent that the property will not continue to qualify for the current agricultural use valuation either for the current or the succeeding year, that the property will be subject to a recoupment charge equal to the tax savings in accordance with section 5713.34 of the Revised Code; (c) That the grantor and the grantee have considered and accounted for the total estimated amount of such recoupment, if any, to the satisfaction of both the grantee and the grantor.

(E) The auditor shall indorse each conveyance on its face to indicate the amount of the conveyance fee and compliance with this section and if the property is residential rental property include a statement that the grantee shall file with the county auditor the information required under division (A) or (C) of section 5323.02 of the Revised Code. The auditor shall retain the original copy of the statement of value, forward to the tax commissioner one copy on which shall be noted the most recent assessed value of the property, and furnish one copy to the grantee or the grantee's representative. (F) In order to achieve uniform administration and collection of the transfer fee required by division (G)(3) of section 319.54 of the Revised Code, the tax commissioner shall adopt and promulgate rules for the administration and enforcement of the levy and collection of such fee. (G) As used in this section, "residential rental property" has the same meaning as in section 5323.01 of the Revised Code. Last updated July 24, 2025 at 12:12 PM

§ 349.08. Issuing bonds
Status: in_force

October 4, 1972 House Bill 1063 - 109th General Assembly A new community authority may, from time to time, issue community authority bonds and notes of the authority in such principal amounts as, in the opinion of the board of trustees of the authority, are necessary for the purposes of paying all or any part of the cost of land acquisition, land development, or the acquisition or construction of community facilities or parts thereof. The authority may, from time to time, issue renewal notes, issue bonds to pay such notes and, whenever it considers refunding expedient, refund any bonds by the issuance of community authority refunding bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and issue bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any other authorized purpose. The refunding bonds shall be sold and the proceeds applied, to the extent necessary, to the purchase, redemption, or payment of the bonds to be refunded. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the board of trustees, every issue of its community authority bonds or notes shall be obligations of the authority payable out of the income source of the authority which is pledged for such payment, without preference or priority of the first bonds issued, subject only to any agreements with the holders or guarantors of particular bonds or notes pledging any particular income source. Such pledge shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made and the income source so pledged and thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of any such pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the authority. Whether or not the bonds or notes are of such form or character as to be negotiable instruments, the bonds or notes shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments, subject only to the provisions of the bonds or notes for registration. The bonds and notes shall be authorized by resolution of the board of trustees, shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature at such time or times, and in the case of any such bond not exceeding forty years from the date of issue, as such resolution or resolutions may provide. The bonds and notes shall bear interest at such rate or rates, be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be payable in such medium of payment, at such place or places and be subject to such terms of redemption as the board may authorize. The bonds and notes may be sold by the authority, at public or private sale, at or not less than such price or prices as the board determines. The bonds and notes shall be executed by two officers of the authority as provided in the resolution authorizing the same, either or both of whom may use a facsimile signature, the official seal of the authority or a facsimile thereof shall be affixed thereto or printed thereon and attested, manually or by facsimile signature, by the secretary of the authority, and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the signature or facsimile signature of one officer of the authority as provided in the authorizing resolution. In case any officer whose signature, or a facsimile of whose signature, appears on any bonds, notes, or coupons ceases to be such officer before delivery of bonds or notes, such signature or facsimile signature nevertheless is sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until such delivery and, in case the seal of the district has changed after a facsimile has been imprinted on such bonds or notes, such facsimile seal will continue to be sufficient for all purposes. Any resolution authorizing any bonds or notes or any issue thereof may contain provisions, subject to such agreements with bondholders or noteholders or guarantors as may then exist, which provisions shall be a part of the contract with the holders or guarantors thereof, as to pledging all or any part of the income source of the authority to secure the payment of the bonds or notes or any issue thereof; pledging all or any part of the land to be developed by the developer; the use and disposition of the income source of the authority; a covenant to fix, alter, and collect rentals, user fees and other charges so that the pledged income source and other security will be sufficient to pay the cost of operation, maintenance, and repairs, pay principal of and interest on bonds or notes secured by the pledge of such income source and provide such reserves as may be required by the applicable resolution or trust agreement; the setting aside of reserve funds, sinking funds, replacement and improvement funds, or other special funds and the regulation and disposition thereof; the crediting of the proceeds of the sale of bonds or notes to or among the funds referred to or provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or notes; the use, lease, sale, or other disposition of any part of land or community facilities or any other assets of the authority; limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of bonds or notes may be applied and pledging such proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds or notes or of any issue thereof; as to notes issued in anticipation of the issuance of community authority bonds, the agreement of the authority to do all things necessary for the authorization, issuance, and sale of such bonds in such amounts as may be necessary for the timely retirement of such notes; limitations on the issuance of additional bonds or notes; the terms upon which additional bonds or notes may be issued and secured; the refunding of outstanding bonds or notes; the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders or noteholders or guarantors may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds or notes the holders or guarantors of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; limitations on the amount of moneys which may be expended by the authority for operating, administrative, or other expenses of the authority; securing any bonds or notes by a trust agreement or indenture of mortgage in accordance with section 349.10 of the Revised Code; and any other matters, of like or different character, which in any way affect the security or protection of the bonds or notes. Neither the members of the board of trustees of the new community authority nor any person executing the bonds or notes shall be liable personally on the bonds or notes or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

§ 343.011. Formation of regional solid waste management authority
Status: in_force

September 30, 2025 Senate Bill 147 - 136th General Assembly (A) The board of county commissioners of a county or the board of directors of a joint solid waste management district established under this chapter, upon its own initiative or at the request of the legislative authority of any municipal corporation or township located in the district, may adopt a resolution proposing the formation of a regional solid waste management authority for the purpose of executing all the duties and responsibilities imposed on or granted to the board under this chapter. Upon adoption of such a resolution, the board shall send a copy of it to the legislative authority of each municipal corporation and township located in the district and shall request each legislative authority to vote on the question of the formation of such a regional authority. The board of county commissioners or board of directors shall declare the proposal to have been adopted upon determining that the legislative authorities of a combination of municipal corporations and townships with a combined population within the boundaries of the district comprising at least sixty per cent of the total population of the district have approved the proposal, provided that that combination shall include the municipal corporation having the largest population in each county within the boundaries of the district. Upon the adoption of the proposal, the board of county commissioners or board of directors shall enter into an agreement with the legislative authorities of the municipal corporations and townships in the district to form a regional solid waste management authority, which agreement shall include, without limitation, procedures for the appointment of a board of trustees of the authority to be comprised of at least the president of the board of county commissioners of each county in the district or the president's designee, the chief executive officer of the municipal corporation having the largest population within the boundaries of each county in the district or the chief executive officer's designee, a member representing the townships within each county in the district chosen by a majority of the boards of township trustees within each county, the health commissioner of the health district having the largest territorial jurisdiction within each county in the district or the health commissioner's designee, and one member representing the public to be appointed by the other members of the board. The agreement forming the regional authority shall be adopted in the same manner as the initial proposal to form the regional authority. Not later than thirty days after the adoption of the agreement, the board of trustees appointed under it shall mail a copy of the agreement to the director of environmental protection. (B) Following the formation of a regional solid waste management authority under division (A) of this section, all the duties and responsibilities imposed on or granted to a board of county commissioners or a board of directors under this chapter shall be vested in and exercised by the board of trustees of the regional authority. Those duties and responsibilities shall include, without limitation, all of the following: (1) Appointment of employees necessary to manage the affairs of the district, including, without limitation, an executive director, and a sanitary engineer or engineers to execute the responsibilities assigned to the county sanitary engineer under this chapter; (2) Acquisition, construction, improvement, enlargement, replacement, maintenance, and operation of solid waste facilities within the district; (3) Issuance of bonds and bond anticipation notes in accordance with Chapter 133. of the Revised Code. (C) In addition to the duties and responsibilities identified in division (B) of this section and division (H) of section 3734.54 of the Revised Code, the board of trustees of a regional solid waste management authority may do any of the following: (1) Adopt bylaws for the regulation of its affairs and the conduct of its business; (2) Maintain an office within its county or joint solid waste management district; (3) Provide coverage for its employees under Chapters 145., 4123., and 4141. of the Revised Code and procure and pay all or any part of the cost of group hospitalization, surgical, major medical, and sickness and accident insurance and group life insurance for its employees; (4) Procure insurance against loss to the regional authority by reason of damages to its properties resulting from fire, theft, accident, or other casualties or by reason of its liability for any damages to persons or property occurring in the construction or operation of facilities under its jurisdiction or the conduct of its activities; (5) Procure a policy or policies insuring members of the board of trustees against liability on account of damages or injury to persons and property resulting from any act or omission of a member in the member's official capacity as a member of the board or resulting solely out of membership on the board; (6) Sue or be sued; (7) Make contracts in the exercise of the rights, powers, and duties conferred upon the regional authority; (8) Do all acts necessary or proper to carry out the duties and responsibilities imposed on or granted to the board under this chapter and sections 3734.52 to 3734.575 of the Revised Code. (D) The board of trustees of a regional solid waste management authority in a county solid waste management district may designate the prosecuting attorney of the county to serve as the legal advisor of the authority, and the board of trustees of an authority in a joint district may designate the prosecuting attorney of one of the counties forming the district to serve as the legal advisor of the authority. The designated prosecuting attorney shall provide such services to the authority as are required or authorized to be provided to county boards under Chapter 309. of the Revised Code. The board of trustees may pay to the county whose prosecuting attorney is serving as the authority's legal advisor any amount agreed upon by the board of trustees and the board of county commissioners of that county to reimburse that county for the cost properly allocable to the services of its prosecuting attorney as the authority's legal advisor. When a prosecuting attorney is so serving and the board considers it to be necessary or appropriate, the board, on its own initiative, may employ an attorney or other legal counsel to advise the board regarding a particular matter in place of the prosecuting attorney. Instead of designating the prosecuting attorney of the county or of one of the counties forming the district, as appropriate, to be the legal advisor of the regional authority, the board of trustees may employ on an annual basis an attorney or other legal counsel to serve as the authority's legal advisor. Notwithstanding the employment of an attorney or other legal counsel on an annual basis as the authority's legal advisor, the board of trustees may require written opinions or instructions from the prosecuting attorney of the county or, in the case of a joint district, any of the counties forming the district in matters connected with the board's official duties, and the prosecuting attorney shall provide the written opinion or instructions as though the prosecuting attorney had been designated to serve as the authority's legal advisor under this division. (E) Within ninety days after October 29, 1993, one member representing industrial, commercial, or institutional generators of solid wastes within the district and one member representing the general interests of citizens who shall have no conflict of interest through affiliation with a waste management company or with any entity that is a significant generator of solid wastes shall be added to the board of trustees of a regional authority formed in a county district. In the case of a regional authority formed in a joint district, one member shall be added to the board of trustees from each county that is a member of the joint district to represent industrial, commercial, or institutional generators of solid wastes within the county, and one member shall be added to the board from each such county to represent the general interests of citizens who shall have no conflict of interest through affiliation with a waste management company or with any entity that is a significant generator of solid wastes. The members representing generators and the general interests of citizens shall be added to the board of trustees without the necessity for amending the agreement to form the regional authority. They shall be appointed in the same manner as the public member of the board is required to be appointed under this section and shall serve for terms of the same length as the other members, as provided in the agreement. (F) As used in this chapter and in division (E) of section 3714.07 of the Revised Code, divisions (D) to (H) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code, and sections 3734.522 , 3734.571 , 3734.572 , 3734.573 , 3734.574 , and 3734.575 of the Revised Code, and as used in Chapter 133. of the Revised Code for the purposes of this chapter, any reference to a board of county commissioners of a county or a board of directors of a joint solid waste management district is deemed to include the board of trustees of a regional solid waste management authority, and any reference to the county sanitary engineer is deemed to include any sanitary engineer employed by a regional authority.

The bonds shall mature no later than forty years from the date thereof and shall be payable in annual or semiannual installments, beginning not later than five years from the date thereof, in such principal amounts that the total principal and interest payments in each year shall be substantially equal. The board, in the legislation authorizing the issuance of the bonds, shall provide that they shall not constitute general obligations of the county or be secured by the general credit and taxing power of the county, but shall be payable solely, as to principal and interest, from the revenues of the improvement, constructed with the proceeds of the sale of the bonds, as derived from the rates or charges established for such services under section 343.08 of the Revised Code, in which event the board of county commissioners of a county district or the board of directors of a joint district shall covenant to fix rates or charges sufficient to provide adequate funds for that purpose, after payment of the cost of management, maintenance, and operation of the solid waste collection or other solid waste facilities, and the board of directors of a joint district shall covenant to pay over to counties issuing the bonds adequate funds derived from the rates or charges to pay the principal and interest on the bonds. The surplus net revenues in any year, over and above the amount of principal and interest payable in that year and any additional amount as is provided in the resolution authorizing the bonds to be held as a reserve for debt service, may be used for the enlargement and replacement of the solid waste collection or other solid waste facilities. (B) In addition to the power to issue bonds under division (A) of this section, a board of county commissioners may issue bonds of the county, in compliance with Chapter 133. of the Revised Code, to pay for that part of the cost of an improvement in a county or joint district that is to be borne by the county at large and may provide that the bonds shall be general obligations of the county payable from taxes to be levied upon all the taxable property therein, provided that such general obligation bonds also may be made payable primarily from the net revenues derived from the improvement and such net revenues may be pledged for the payment of the interest and principal thereof. (C) A board of directors of a joint solid waste management district may issue bonds of the joint district, in compliance with Chapter 133. of the Revised Code, to pay for that part of the cost of an improvement in a joint district that is to be borne by the district at large and may provide that the bonds shall be general obligations of the district payable from taxes to be levied upon all taxable property located in the district, provided that such general obligation bonds also may be payable from net revenues derived from the improvement and such net revenues may be pledged for the interest and principal of the bonds.
