Ohio eviction research
State context for eviction filings, plus directories of Ohio counties and major cities. Cited volumes come from named public sources — never from a fabricated local count.
What a filing means in Ohio
An eviction filing is a court case asking a judge for possession of a rental unit. It is not a lockout. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removing belongings without a court process are illegal. Local courts and executing offices set their own calendars — we do not publish guaranteed timelines.
Ohio forcible entry and detainer actions are typically filed in municipal court or county court where the property is located.
EvictIQ operational timestamps (service attempts, writ applications, setout windows) are not claimed for this state. What follows is process education and public-source geography, not a field-coverage claim.
None of this is legal advice. Statutes, local rules, and court practice change.
Major cities
6 listed cities have a cited Eviction Lab 2016 judgment count or rate on the city page. State ranking extract.
Counties and county-equivalents
Every Ohio county-equivalent has a page. Templates are intentionally thin: a filing is a court case, not a lockout, and we do not invent a county filing total when we do not have one.
