Ohio Code § 2909.11

§ 2909.11.

(A) When a person is charged with a violation of division (A)(1) or (B)(1) of section 2909.03 of the Revised Code involving property value or an amount of physical harm of one thousand dollars or

more or with a violation of section 2909.05 of the Revised Code involving property value or an amount of physical harm of one thousand dollars or

more, the jury or court trying the accused shall determine the value of the property

or amount of physical harm and, if a guilty verdict is returned, shall return the

finding as part of the verdict.  In any such case, it is unnecessary to find or return the exact value or amount

of physical harm, section 2945.75 of the Revised Code applies, and it is sufficient if either of the following applies, as appropriate,

relative to the finding and return of the value or amount of physical harm: (1) If the finding and return relate to a violation of division (A)(1) or (B)(1) of section 2909.03 of the Revised Code and are that the value or amount of the physical harm was one thousand dollars or

more, the finding and return shall include a statement that the value or amount was

one thousand dollars or more. (2) If the finding and return relate to a violation of section 2909.05 of the Revised Code and are that the value or amount of the physical harm was in any of the following

categories, the finding and return shall include one of the following statements,

as appropriate: (a) If the finding and return are that the value or amount was one hundred fifty thousand

dollars or more, a statement that the value or amount was one hundred fifty thousand

dollars or more; (b) If the finding and return are that the value or amount was seven thousand five hundred

dollars or more but less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars a statement that

the value or amount was seven thousand five hundred dollars or more but less than

one hundred fifty thousand dollars; (c) If the finding and return are that the value or amount was one thousand dollars or

more but less than seven thousand five hundred dollars, a statement that the value

or amount was one thousand dollars or more but less than seven thousand five hundred

dollars. (B) The following criteria shall be used in determining the value of property or amount

of physical harm involved in a violation of division (A)(1) or (B)(1) of section 2909.03 or section 2909.05 of the Revised Code : (1) If the property is an heirloom, memento, collector's item, antique, museum piece,

manuscript, document, record, or other thing that is either irreplaceable or is replaceable

only on the expenditure of substantial time, effort, or money, the value of the property

or the amount of physical harm involved is the amount that would compensate the owner

for its loss. (2) If the property is not covered under division (B)(1) of this section and the physical

harm is such that the property can be restored substantially to its former condition,

the amount of physical harm involved is the reasonable cost of restoring the property. (3) If the property is not covered under division (B)(1) of this section and the physical

harm is such that the property cannot be restored substantially to its former condition,

the value of the property, in the case of personal property, is the cost of replacing

the property with new property of like kind and quality, and, in the case of real

property or real property fixtures, is the difference in the fair market value of

the property immediately before and immediately after the offense. (C) As used in this section, “fair market value” has the same meaning as in section 2913.61 of the Revised Code . (D) Prima-facie evidence of the value of property, as provided in division (E) of section 2913.61 of the Revised Code , may be used to establish the value of property pursuant to this section.
