The Auditor is responsible for receiving and maintaining numerous official reports, records, and other documents. All of these documents must be made available for public inspection during regular office hours. Some of the documents are filed with the Auditor so other statutory duties can be performed. Some examples of these are election results, elections expenses and chargebacks, licensed vendors in the county, and pollution control certificates. Each of these records relate to the Auditor’s duties on tax assessing and tax settlements.

Other documents are filed with the Auditor for the convenience of the general public. Some examples of these are receiving copies of newly enacted statutes from the Secretary of State, and receiving plans, drawings and estimates of county courthouse or jail, County Home, and county public buildings.

All of these documents must be preserved and safeguarded until such time as is determined by the County Records Commission. The Auditor can apply to the Records Commission for permission to dispose of these records. Before permission may be granted, the Records Commission must have a Records Retention Schedule established and approved by the Ohio Historical Society and the Auditor of State. The Auditor may microfilm these records and then dispose of the originals, but the Records Commission will need to be notified and grant its approval before any disposal is made.
