County Treasurer
The County Treasurer is the custodian of all county funds and is responsible for the collection of real estate, manufactured home, and estate taxes, together with the investment of county monies pending distribution to the more than sixty taxing districts within Clairmont County – townships, villages, school districts, and joint vocational and library districts. The Treasurer’s office does not set tax rates or property values; questions about valuation should be directed to the County Auditor.

Payment Options
Tax bills may be paid by mail, in person at the courthouse window, or by the secure drop box located at the Public Square entrance to the courthouse (checks only, no cash). Payments postmarked on or before the due date are considered timely. Taxpayers who prefer to spread payments over the year may enroll in the Treasurer’s monthly escrow prepayment plan; enrollment forms are available at the counter.
Delinquent Tax Contracts
Parcels with delinquent balances may qualify for a delinquent tax contract under ORC 323.31, allowing repayment in monthly installments over as long as five years while protecting the parcel from tax certificate sale. Contracts require a down payment and remain current only if all subsequent installments, including current taxes, are paid on time. Parcels with unresolved delinquencies are subject to referral for tax certificate sale or foreclosure under ORC 5721 & 5723.
Manufactured Homes
Manufactured and mobile homes not converted to real property are taxed semi-annually through this office on the same schedule as real estate. A certificate of tax payment is required from this office before a manufactured home may be moved, sold, or retitled with the Clerk of Courts Auto Title Division.
Unclaimed Funds
The Treasurer periodically publishes a list of unclaimed vendor and refund checks held by the county for more than one year, as required by ORC 9.39. Residents may inquire whether funds are held in their name by calling the office directly; claims must include proof of identity.
