Ohio Code § 5301.39

§ 5301.39.

The court in which proceedings are commenced, relative to a mortgage or other lien,

change of title, or partition of lands, the final judgment, order, or decree in which

is to release or declare such mortgage or other lien void, in whole or in part, or

require the judicial sale of property included in the mortgage or other lien, in case

of failure to pay the amount secured thereby, or when the title has been changed by

judgment or decree, or partition made and confirmed between tenants in common, at

the rendition of such final judgment, order, or decree, shall make the necessary order

for the proper entry of a memorandum, release, or satisfaction, by the clerk of such

court, on the record of such mortgage or other lien, and in cases of change of title

or partition, for the record of so much of the decree in the records in the office

of the county recorder, as is necessary to show such change of title or partition. In a county in which the county recorder has determined to use the microfilm process

as provided by section 9.01 of the Revised Code and has elected to require a separate instrument for satisfactions and other actions

affecting mortgages and other liens on real property, the court order for proper entry

as referred to in this section, or certified copy thereof, may constitute the separate

instrument and shall be recorded according to the type of action involved.
