What is Residential Rental Registration Exceptions – Summit County, OH?
The Residential Rental Registration Exceptions form, printed as an EXCEPTION FORM of the Summit County Fiscal Office, is the statement an owner signs to tell the Fiscal Office that a property qualifies as an exception to the rental registry.
The form identifies the owner, a contact person, the street address of the property and its parcel number(s). The owner then checks the box that matches the property's status:
- the property was sold;
- the owner is deceased or has a long-term health illness and the property has been vacant for 2 or more years;
- the property was damaged or destroyed by fire, condemnation proceeding, or other means;
- relatives live at the property and no rent is charged;
- the owner lives at the property and it is the owner's primary residence;
- another reason, written in on the form.
The owner closes with a declaration under penalties of perjury that the statement is true, correct and complete.
The Fiscal Office's forms page describes the document in one line: your residential rental property may qualify as an exception. That page lists it next to two related documents that this form is not: the Residential Rental Property Registration, and the Residential Rental Registration Special Assessment Appeal, which the page says can be filed anytime with the Board of Revision.
Who needs to file Residential Rental Registration Exceptions – Summit County, OH?
Owners of residential property in Summit County who believe the property is not a rental for registry purposes use this form to say why. The form recognizes these situations, and you check the box that applies:
- the property was sold;
- the owner is deceased or has a long-term health illness, and the property has been vacant for 2 or more years;
- the property was damaged or destroyed by fire, condemnation proceeding, or other means;
- relatives live at the property and no rent is being charged;
- the owner lives at the property and it is their primary residence;
- any other reason the property qualifies as a rental registry exception, which you write on the form.
The form has a space for a contact person's telephone number, so someone other than the owner can be the point of contact. It does not describe who may sign for an owner; the signature block is for the property owner and carries a declaration under penalties of perjury.
Do not use this form to register a rental property or to appeal a special assessment. The Fiscal Office lists the Residential Rental Property Registration and the Residential Rental Registration Special Assessment Appeal as separate documents.
When to file Residential Rental Registration Exceptions – Summit County, OH
Submit the form when your property fits one of the exception statuses printed on it and you need to tell the Summit County Fiscal Office so. No due date is printed on the form, and the Fiscal Office's forms page gives none for it. For timing questions, call the Fiscal Office at (330)643-7561 or toll free 1(888)388-5613, or email [email protected].
Have your parcel number(s) ready before you start. If you are claiming the exception for more than one property, the form tells you to attach a sheet listing them. If a property is vacant because the owner is deceased or has a long-term health illness, the box applies only when the vacancy has lasted 2 or more years.
Documents you need
- A sheet listing every parcel number, attached to the form, when the exception is claimed for more than one property.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving all the status boxes unchecked; the form asks you to check the box that applies to your property.
- Checking the vacancy box when the property has been vacant for less than 2 years; that box requires an owner who is deceased or has a long-term health illness and 2 or more years of vacancy.
- Checking the relatives box while rent is being charged; the box applies only when relatives live at the property and no rent is charged.
- Listing several properties without attaching a sheet of parcel numbers, as the form directs for multiple properties.
- Writing in nothing under the other-reason line when none of the printed boxes fits your situation.
- Sending the form without a signature and date under the declaration made under penalties of perjury.
- Leaving out the street address of the property or its parcel number, so the Fiscal Office cannot match the exception to the property.
- Using this form to register a rental or appeal an assessment; those are separate Fiscal Office documents.
