A seller in Ohio closes on a property sale but the title company fails to pay the conveyance fee to the County Auditor within the required timeframe. What is the MOST likely consequence?

Correct Answer

Answer Options
A
The deed is automatically void and ownership reverts to the seller
B
The County Recorder records the deed but places a lien for the unpaid fee
C
The deed cannot be recorded until the fee is paid, leaving the buyer without recorded title
