FRANKLIN COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS AUTO TITLE MANUAL Vendor Transactions The net tax is remitted to the Clerk of Courts for a vendor transaction. Net tax is the gross tax minus the vendor discount. Watercraft Dealer Transactions A watercraft dealer permit number allows a dealer to reduce their customer’s tax base by a trade-in on either a new or used watercraft. The net tax is remitted to the Clerk of Courts. Broker Sales A broker sale will have the appearance of a casual sale in that the title is being transferred from individual to individual. However, a third party called a “broker” is actually selling the watercraft. In the case of a broker sale, the broker’s dealer permit number and/or vendor number must be shown on the title application and the net tax is remitted to the Clerk’s office. Watercraft Insurance Settlements If a boat is damaged or stolen as a result of an insurance claim, and the insurance company is assuming ownership, the title is filled out in the same manner as any transfer. The purchase price and basis for exemption should be shown as “Insurance Claim”. The insurance company will be issued a regular title, not a salvage title. Abandoned Watercraft Private Property When a watercraft or outboard motor has been left for more than 72 hours without the permission of the property owner or at a marina for longer than the agreed upon time, the watercraft is considered abandoned. The property owner can file a complaint and law enforcement may order the watercraft into storage or have it removed by private tow. If after 30 days the watercraft remains unclaimed, the law enforcement agency begins the process of filing an unclaimed affidavit. This process will result in the law enforcement agency being issued a SALVAGE TITLE, which will permit them to sell it at a public auction, or they may assign the unclaimed affidavit to a marine salvage dealer. Also, if the watercraft or outboard motor has been left abandoned for six months or more without permission of the property owner, the property owner can request a search of the records of the Division of Watercraft for the name and address of the last known owner and any lienholder. This request must be made in writing and should indicate that the search is in order to hold an auction for sale. The fee for the search is $2.00 and should accompany the request. When the response is sent by the Division of Watercraft to the property owner, a copy of the ORC 4585.31 will be sent explaining the steps to be taken and a list of licensed watercraft dealers in the property owner’s county. 26 FRANKLIN COUNTY TITLE DIVISION - CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE (614) 525-3090 462-3090
FRANKLIN COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS AUTO TITLE MANUAL A cursory review of the steps involved is as follows: 1. The property owner sends notice to the last owner and/or any lienholder by certified mail, return receipt requested. The property owner must allow 45 days for a response. 2. If the watercraft or outboard motor remains unclaimed, the property owner must obtain a written appraisal of the value from a licensed watercraft dealer. The appraised value must not exceed $10,000 in order to proceed with this process. 3. The property owner must advertise in a newspaper of general circulation once a week for two consecutive weeks of the intent to sell the item at auction, describing the watercraft or outboard motor. 4. The auction is held and the item is sold to the highest bidder. The property owner may bid at the auction which must be conducted on the property where the watercraft or outboard motor was left. 5. After the auction sale, the property owner completes an affidavit prescribed by the Division of Watercraft. 6. The property owner provides the purchaser with the affidavit, return receipts and written appraisal. This must state the length of time watercraft was left, expenses incurred by the owner of the property, name and address of the purchaser and the purchase price. 7. The purchaser presents these to the county title office in the county where the auction was held to apply for a title in their name. Public Property If a watercraft or outboard motor is sunken, beached or drifting and left for any period of time or left on public property for more than 48 hours without notice to authorities, it is considered abandoned. Law enforcement may order the watercraft into storage or have it removed by private tow. They may then proceed with the unclaimed watercraft process outlined previously. Law enforcement or a marine salvage facility possessing an unclaimed affidavit assigned to them by law enforcement, are the only entities ever issued a salvage title under watercraft law. Electronic Title Application - ETA The Electronic Title Application (ETA) allows a dealership to scan title documents and send them to our office electronically. Our office reviews the images through the ETA portal, which involves the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety, and approves or denies issuance of a title. Certificate of titles are still printed in the Clerk of Courts office, but the memorandum copy of the title is printed at the dealerships. This process efficiently facilitates delivering the memo to your customer. Our office stores the electronic images indefinitely; however, the dealership maintains the original documents at their office for 5 years. ETA payments are made electronically which eliminates the payment of checks and cash. For more information regarding the ETA process please contact our Customer Service Center Line. 27 FRANKLIN COUNTY TITLE DIVISION CUSTOMER - CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE (614) 525-3090 462-3090
