Quitclaim Deed in Ohio

Federal & State Law Editorial TeamLast reviewed: April 2026

Start with the official Ohio form

The canonical, court-accepted version of this form is published by the County Recorder's Office. Search your county or district court's website for the current Quitclaim Deed form before relying on any template. Forms are revised periodically — always confirm you have the current revision before filing.

Verify with your local court clerk before filing: local rules sometimes add cover-sheet, formatting, or service requirements beyond what the state-issued form shows.
