| WEIGHTS AND MEASURES |
| The County Auditor is the Sealer of Weights and Measures for Licking County, thus protecting the general public from the possible loss that may occur from faulty measuring devices such as scales and pumps. He is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that all State Laws relating to weights and measures are strictly enforced. One method is to perform "spot checks" on prepackaged items to test the weight of the contents. |

| MANUFACTURED HOME TAXES |
| Under Ohio Law, is the responsibility of the owners of Manufactured Homes (Mobile Homes) to register their homes with the County Auditor for tax purposes. Each Manufactured Home is annually assessed by the County Auditor. A tax duplicate is prepared and a tax bill is sent to each owner semi-annually in January and June. The Manufactured Home Tax is distributed back to the local taxing districts (townships and schools, etc.) in the same manner as real estate taxes. There are approximately five thousand (5000) Manufactured Homes on the tax duplicate in Licking County. |

| OIL AND GAS PERMITS AND PRODUCTION |
| The Auditor's Office keeps record of all oil and gas drilling permits in the County. Annually the holders of drilling permits for oil and gas wells are required to file a report of the production for each well. The production (value) is subject to taxation in the same manner as both real estate and personal property. |

| SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS |
| Special Assessments are not real estate taxes, but are included as a separate line item on the real estate tax bill. These could include such items as ditch assessments, street paving, street lighting, sidewalks, and sewer or water lines. The Auditor is required by law to keep an accounting of these Special Assessments, to place them on the tax duplicate as a separate item, and to return the money collected to the Village, Township or County office which levied the assessment. |
