Ohio Recorders Information
You are NOT on the Ohio official website, you are on Deeds.com, a private website that is not affiliated with any government agency.
Real property records are maintained by the recorder in the county where the property is situated.
The recording of an instrument in the office of the county recorder in the county where the property is located is constructive notice of the instrument to all persons, including without limitation, a subsequent purchaser in good faith or any other subsequent holder of any interest in the property.
Until a document is recorded, it is fraudulent insofar as it relates to a subsequent bona fide purchaser of the same real estate having, at the time of purchase, no knowledge of the existence of the former deed.
