What is Application to Split Parcel – Summit County, OH?
The Application to Split Parcel is a Summit County Fiscal Office form, printed as Application For Splitting Parcels ( Tax Purposes Only ), on which an applicant asks the office to split one parcel for tax purposes. The Fiscal Office describes it as a request to split a parcel located in the same political subdivision and taxing district.
The form is short. It asks for the parcel number, one or two applicants with signature and date, the tax mailing address, a contact phone number and an email address. A printed request line, PLEASE SPLIT PARCEL BACK TO ORIGINAL CONFIGURATED PARCELS, also appears beside the parcel number. Near the bottom it prints Received By and Date & Time Received blocks, which record receipt of the application.
The form quotes County Ordinance Section 173.07: delinquent real estate taxes and tax certificate liens must be paid in full before a split or combine of parcels or a transfer of real estate.
This is not the combining form. The Fiscal Office lists a separate Application for Combining Parcels (Tax Purpose Only), which asks to combine parcels in the same political subdivision and taxing district. The Fiscal Office issues this document at the county level, under the Summit County Fiscal Officer.
Who needs to file Application to Split Parcel – Summit County, OH?
Parcel owners or other applicants who want the Summit County Fiscal Office to split a parcel for tax purposes use this application. The Fiscal Office describes it as a request to split a parcel located in the same political subdivision and taxing district. The form has two applicant lines, each with a name, signature and date.
Conditions and limits printed on the form:
- It is for tax purposes only, as its title says.
- Under County Ordinance Section 173.07, delinquent real estate taxes and tax certificate liens must be paid in full before a split, so a parcel with unpaid delinquent taxes or liens is not ready for this application.
- If you want to combine parcels instead of splitting one, the Fiscal Office lists a different form, the Application for Combining Parcels (Tax Purpose Only).
The form does not describe who may sign for another person. Ask the Fiscal Office contacts listed on the form if someone other than the owner will apply.
When to file Application to Split Parcel – Summit County, OH
Submit the application when you want a parcel split for tax purposes, and only after delinquent real estate taxes and tax certificate liens on it are paid in full. The form quotes County Ordinance Section 173.07, which requires that payment before a split or combine of parcels or a transfer of real estate. No separate due date is printed on the form, so timing depends on when you need the split to take effect. Because the form is dated Revised 10/2023, confirm with the Fiscal Office contacts printed on it that this is the current version before you send it.

How to submit Application to Split Parcel – Summit County, OH

- Mailing address: Fiscal Officer, Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE, 175 South Main Street Room 424, Akron OH, 44308.
- Valerie Langenfeld: 330.643.8146, [email protected].
- Teanna McDaniel: 330.643.6453, [email protected].

Common mistakes to avoid
- Submitting the application while delinquent real estate taxes or tax certificate liens are unpaid; County Ordinance Section 173.07 requires them to be paid in full before a split.
- Leaving Parcel No. blank or entering the wrong parcel, so the office cannot tell which parcel is to be split.
- Using this form to combine parcels; the Fiscal Office lists a separate Application for Combining Parcels (Tax Purpose Only).
- Treating the form as more than a tax-purposes request; its title reads Tax Purposes Only.
- Leaving an applicant's signature or date blank on the applicant lines.
- Filling in the Received By and Date & Time Received blocks, which record receipt of the application rather than the applicant's details.
