LICKING COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICEJ. TERRY EVANS, AUDITOR
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.
LICENSING
The Auditor's Office is the County Office responsible for the issuance of licenses for dogs, kennels, vendors, and cigarettes.
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. Continue on the Tour
