Transferring/Conveying Property

---

Three easy steps, and everything can be completed in the County Administration Building:

144 N. Broadway Street in Medina.

  assistance, a licensed attorney or title agency are your best options. The Auditor and Recorder only
  accept documents with original notarized signatures.
