As adopted under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section 319.203, effective August 4, 1997, the Hamilton County Auditor and the Hamilton County Engineer's Transfer and Conveyance Standards outlines specific guidelines for presenting documents to be transferred. The purpose of transferring deeds through the Auditor is to maintain an accurate record of property ownership and parcel identification and to collect conveyance fees required by Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section 319.20 and 322.02.
The Auditor can exercise the discretionary power [ORC 319.202 (a)] of requesting the applicant to provide additional information in the form of affidavits, deeds, trust documents, purchase agreements, closing statements, court orders, or any other document deemed necessary by the Auditor that sufficiently substantiates the claim for exemption or verifies the accuracy of information provided on the forms.
While the Auditor reserves the right to request such information in any and all cases, as a rule, affidavits will always be required when a DTE Form 100 EX is submitted and exemptions "b" or "m" is checked as the reason for exemption.
