According to the Ohio Revised Code (Section 319.20), the Auditor is responsible for transferring ownership of all real property in the County and placing the new owners' names and values on the appropriate tax duplicates. In conjunction with the County Engineer, the Auditor may establish standards for the transfer or conveyance of real property.

In order to transfer real estate, the deed or legal instrument must meet the following requirements:

• The names of the Grantor(s) listed the same as title was taken when the property was acquired
• Grantors' marital status
• A description of the property that has been stamped by the Coshocton County Engineer
• Execution Date
• Original Grantor signature(s), with names printed also
• Notary signature, seal and Commission expiration date
• Location of execution (State and County)
• By whom the deed was prepared
• Grantee's tax mailing address
• Parcel number
• Prior deed reference
• Accompanied by a fee or exempt Conveyance form which has been completed, including a tax mailing address, date and signature. Please be sure to fill out the 2 ½%, Homestead, and C.A.U.V. information
• Accompanied by a Statement of Conveyance of Homestead Property (DTE 101) or Statement of Conveyance of C.A.U.V. Property (DTE 102) Form, if taxes are affected by these programs.
• If there is a Manufactured Home involved in a transfer, the Manufactured Home has its own conveyance form separate from the real estate. The amount paid for the real estate should be reflected on the real estate conveyance form while the amount paid for the mobile home should be on the Manufactured Home Conveyance Form.
  

The transfer fee is $.50 per parcel. The conveyance fee is $ $4.00 per $1000.

Other requirements may also be imposed by the Engineer's Map Department and the County Recorder's Office. Please contact them for further information.
