Questions
Is a list of property owners public record in Ohio?
Yes. Each Ohio county Auditor keeps the owner's name and the address the tax bill goes to, and Ohio's public records law (Ohio Revised Code 149.43) opens those records to anyone. These lists come from the Brown County Auditor's records.
How do I find absentee property owners?
Look for homes whose tax bill goes to a different address than the home. There are 2,784 of them in Brown County today. The Absentee owners list has every one, with the address where the owner gets mail.
How current is the data?
The Brown County Auditor's records as of October 24, 2026. The county posts new files every day; we check for a new one every Friday night. Every file shows its date.
Can I get just one ZIP code?
Yes. Pick one ZIP code, town, township or school district. You see the exact count and price before you pay, and you pay only for that area. Every list is at least $5.
Who is left out?
Owners the Auditor protects by law, anyone who asked us not to mail them or to hide their name, owners who live in Vermont or Connecticut, and addresses with no ZIP code.
How do I get the file?
It downloads the moment you pay, and stays in your account for 12 months. Wrong or empty? Full refund.
Can I use it to screen tenants or employees?
No. It is not a consumer report and may not be used to decide anyone's eligibility for housing, a job, credit or insurance.
