Clermont County Auditor, OH: Property Search, Records (2026)

Clermont County Auditor property search: three ways to begin

Use the detail you already know. A complete parcel number is helpful when an owner has several properties or a mailing address differs from the property’s location.

Search by property address

1. Open the official Clermont County Address Search.
2. Enter the house number and street name in the corresponding fields.
3. Leave off the street suffix for best results, following the portal’s instructions.
4. Select Search and open a matching parcel.
5. Confirm its location and parcel number before using the information.

For example, try 819 Woodland before adding “Drive.” The search also supports an asterisk wildcard when you are unsure of spelling or want a broader set of results.

Search by owner name

Open Owner Search and enter the last name followed by the first name. Full names, partial names and the * wildcard are supported. For company-owned property, try the recorded business name.

Search by parcel number

Open Parcel Search and copy the identifier from a county bill or record. The portal accepts all or part of the number. Its instructions show 123* for identifiers beginning with 123 and *456 for identifiers ending with 456.

Those examples demonstrate search syntax; they are not complete Clermont County parcel numbers.

Read the parcel record before comparing figures

First confirm the property. Then confirm the year. A previous owner, an adjoining lot or a different tax year can explain an apparent mismatch.

For a purchase involving a house and separate adjoining land, collect every parcel number. Save the relevant record or a dated screenshot so the county can see the exact information behind your question.

2026 reappraisal: tentative value and tax bill are different

Clermont County’s 2026 tentative-value announcement confirms that values are available for review following the county’s six-year reappraisal.

The review incorporates sales, construction and property characteristics. If a figure surprises you, compare the property description and nearby comparable sales before deciding what needs attention.

Ask for a review of incorrect information

Identify the parcel, disputed field and supporting evidence. Send value-related questions to [email protected] or call 513-732-7150.

The county states that this review does not constitute a formal Board of Revision complaint. Keep the two processes and their deadlines separate.

Understand market value and assessed value

The county’s Appraisals & Assessments page explains that assessed value is 35% of fair market value. A $200,000 market value therefore produces a $70,000 assessed value before applicable adjustments.

Neither figure is the tax bill. Rates, credits and other bill components also affect the final charge. A percentage change in market value does not automatically produce an identical percentage change in taxes.

Clermont County property taxes: bills, deadlines and payments

The Clermont County Treasurer handles collection. Locate the parcel first, then confirm its current balance and payment period.

The official Tax Due Dates page lists these dates for tax year 2025, payable in 2026:

• First half: February 13, 2026.
• Second half: August 7, 2026.

Both dates have passed. An unpaid account may require more than the amount printed on an earlier bill. Obtain the current balance before submitting payment.

Choose a payment method

Use the Treasurer’s How to Pay page for the authorized online payment link and current instructions.

• Online: follow the county link to its payment provider and review the convenience fee.
• Phone: call 1-833-315-2984; a convenience fee applies.
• Mail: follow the current bill’s remittance instructions. The Treasurer’s homepage identifies P.O. Box 347, Batavia, Ohio 45103 as the real estate payment address.
• In person: visit the Treasurer at 101 East Main Street, Batavia.
• After hours: the payment page describes a deposit box on the Administration Building’s Main Street side. Do not deposit cash.

Save the payment confirmation. If a mortgage company pays through escrow, compare its disbursement with the county account.

Ask about delinquent balances at 513-732-7715. For the monthly escrow program, call 513-732-7713; the program is intended for taxpayers who are current on their taxes.

Homestead Exemption: check both 2026 deadlines

The Homestead Program provides relief for qualifying seniors, permanently and totally disabled homeowners, and certain surviving spouses. Separate applications cover other eligible categories.

The county’s October 14, 2026 announcement lists a $41,000 modified adjusted gross income threshold for standard tax year 2026 eligibility. Ask the Auditor which income calculation applies to your application.

Applicants must also satisfy ownership and principal-residence requirements. Standard senior eligibility generally requires reaching age 65 during the application year; disability and surviving-spouse categories have their own conditions.

Prepare and submit the application

1. Choose the eligibility category on the official Homestead page.
2. Gather the parcel number, applicant and spouse details, ownership information and required income records.
3. Include disability certification or other category-specific evidence when required.
4. Complete and sign the application.
5. Return it to the Auditor or follow the county’s electronic filing link. New online users should select New User – Create an Account.

The Forms & Applications directory includes standard Homestead, disabled-veteran and qualifying public-service-officer surviving-spouse forms. Keep a complete copy and submission confirmation.

Owner occupancy and agricultural valuation use separate applications

Owner-occupancy reduction

The Owner Occupancy Credit page requires owning and occupying the home as a principal residence on January 1 of the filing year. The county offers paper and electronic applications.

Review this status after buying a home rather than assuming a mailing-address change establishes eligibility.

Current Agricultural Use Valuation

The CAUV program values qualifying agricultural land according to agricultural productivity. The county describes eligibility for qualifying agricultural or timber acreage of at least 10 acres, and smaller properties meeting its income test.

For land under 10 acres, the listed income test is an average of at least $2,500 in annual gross agricultural income over the preceding three years.

• The application period runs from the first Monday in January through the first Monday in March.
• The initial filing fee is $25.
• Buildings and homesites do not receive the land-value reduction.
• Land-use changes or missed applications and renewals can trigger recoupment.

Woodland has additional requirements. Check those rules before assuming wooded acreage qualifies.

Board of Revision: challenge the property’s market value

The Clermont County Board of Revision accepts complaints during January 1–March 31. The 2026 filing window has closed; check the next cycle’s instructions before filing.

The county lists online filing, mail, in-person delivery and email to [email protected]. Complete the required form and signatures; a general inquiry is not a completed complaint.

1. Identify the parcel and tax year.
2. State the requested value and explain the basis for it.
3. Organize relevant sales, appraisal, condition or other supporting evidence.
4. Use the correct complaint form and accepted submission method.
5. Confirm receipt and keep the subsequent hearing notice.

The county describes a general once-per-three-year filing restriction. Ask the Board how the rule and any applicable exceptions affect your property.

Observe the evidence deadlines

The Board rules modified May 4, 2026 require the original plus two copies for paper complaints and accompanying documents. They also specify advance submission and service of hearing exhibits.

Ordinary exhibits are generally due at least 14 days before the hearing; appraisal and other expert reports are due at least seven days before. Follow the current rules and your case instructions.

A value complaint does not settle a payment question. Continue working with the Treasurer on any separate balance issue.

Use GIS maps, then find the recorded documents

Locate and compare parcels

Start with the Auditor’s GIS & Mapping page. Its viewer supports searches by address, owner and parcel, along with layers such as subdivisions, roads, floodplains and contours.

Locate the property, compare the parcel number with the record and turn on the layers relevant to your question. The county’s Interactive Maps directory also provides general mapping, flood-stage and other specialized maps.

The Auditor explains that parcel lines are representations based on land records. For a fence location or boundary dispute, consult the underlying documents and a licensed surveyor.

Find a deed, mortgage or recorded plat

Use the Recorder’s property-document guidance and follow its current online-search link. The Recorder states that documents recorded from 1980 onward are available online.

1. Save the property owner’s name and parcel details from the Auditor.
2. Open the Recorder’s current records portal.
3. Use the available name, document or recording filters.
4. Review the parties, recording date and legal description.

Recorded subdivision and condominium plats are available through the Recorder. For acreage without an assigned lot number, its guidance points to Engineer tax-map survey plats.

Conveyance fees and transfer paperwork

The county transfer standards list a conveyance fee of $4 per $1,000 of consideration, with consideration rounded up to the nearest $100, plus $0.50 per parcel.

For a nonexempt $250,000 transfer involving two parcels, the calculation is:

• Conveyance: $250,000 ÷ $1,000 × $4 = $1,000.
• Parcel fees: 2 × $0.50 = $1.
• Total: $1,001, before separate recording charges.

The county identifies DTE 100 or the applicable DTE 100EX exemption form. DTE 101 applies to qualifying Homestead transfers; DTE 102 applies to qualifying CAUV transfers. Review the standards for the instrument and supporting documents before submitting.

Correct an address or report damaged property

The Auditor’s FAQ distinguishes several requests:

• Property location address: contact the township office responsible for assigning the address and ask it to notify the Auditor.
• Tax mailing address: contact the Treasurer at 513-732-7254 or use its address-change form.
• Demolition, fire or disaster damage: obtain the Destroyed or Damaged Real Property form, DTE 26, through the official forms directory.

For damage, record the date and keep photographs and supporting documents. The county explains that the deduction percentage depends on the calendar quarter in which damage occurred.

For a proposed building or change of use, confirm permit and zoning requirements with the appropriate building and township offices.

Clermont County Auditor phone, address and office hours

The official contact page lists Linda L. Fraley as County Auditor.

Have the parcel number, relevant year and exact question ready. Confirm holiday closures and department requirements before visiting.

Dog licensing and other Auditor services

The Auditor’s dog licensing page provides online licensing through DocuPet, plus mail, phone and in-person options. It lists a standard one-year fee of $16 during the regular renewal period and a $16 late fee after January 31, subject to stated exceptions.
