Statement on Senate bill 94
On October 24, 2024, the modifications to O.R.C. Section 317.32 created by S.B. 94 were enacted. Across the state of Ohio, county Recorders have the option to institute a $5.00 per document fee to assist offices meet new electronic recording standards set by the bill.
The Franklin County Recorder's Office will NOT be instituting an additional $5.00 document preservation fee at this time. For more information about the recording fees charged at the Franklin County Recorder's Office, please refer to our Fee Calculator.
"We do not feel the need to implement a document preservation fee because our office has already met the technology standards set for Ohio Recorders in S.B. 94 and O.R.C. Section 317.32," said Recorder O'Connor. "We have been working to digitize our records collection over time and continue to pursue the best options for the public to access our office online."
