What catches people out
Ohio counties set their own permissive fee between zero and $3 per $1,000, so the total ranges from $1 to $4 across the state. Morrow County is at $4.00 per $1,000, which is 0.40 percent. All of the money stays with the county. This rate comes from the Ohio Department of Taxation’s statewide table for calendar year 2024, the most recent one published. Confirm with the county auditor before closing.
