Jeff Stauch - Union County Engineer, Environmental Engineer

When Ohio became a state in 1803, one of the original offices created by the General Assembly was that of the County Surveyor. His only responsibilities had to do with surveying and mapping. As time went on those responsibilities gradually shifted to roads as our transportation modes changed.

In 1935, the title of the office was changed to County Engineer. The Union County Engineer is elected for a four year term by a popular vote of all Union County voters. The Union County Engineer must be registered as an engineer and a surveyor in the State of Ohio.

In 1989, the Union County Commissioners combined the offices of County Engineer and Environmental Engineer. The office of Environmental Engineer was originally created by the commissioners in 1972.

The present Union County Engineer is Jeff Stauch, who took office in January of 2009.

RECORDER KAREN RIFFLE

Thank you for visiting the Union County Recorder's Office Web Site.

Our office is the official land records office for all real estate located in Union County.  We keep accurate land records that are current, legible and easily accessible.  An important aspect of the Recorder's work is to index each document so it may be readily located.  Accurate indexing makes it possible for persons searching land records to find the documents necessary to establish a "chain of title" (history of ownership) and ensures that any debts or encumbrances against the property are evident.  These invaluable records are utilized by the general public, attorneys, historians, genealogists, and land title examiners.

If you need assistance, please contact the Recorder's Office.

NOTICE: The Treasurers office will remain open until 5:00pm on 12/31/2025 for those who would like to pay their 2025 estimated Real Estate Taxes (payable in 2026) in conjunction with the increase in the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction for 2025 federal taxes.

First half property taxes are due February 18th 
Should you pay your entire property tax bill? Or just the first half? 
The recommendation is tied to House Bill 186, which requires property tax rates to be recalculated for the second half of the year. That recalculation is expected to lower rates.
Given that HB 186 will require the recalculation of rates for the second half — and we expect the rates to decrease — it is advised to only pay the first half. The second-half bill will reflect a full-year adjustment once the new rates are finalized.
For property owners who have already paid their full balance, the Treasurer’s Office will notify them if they are owed a credit.
For property owners in the prepay escrow program you will be notified of the adjusted amount to be deducted based on the adjusted tax. 
Taxpayers may choose to apply that credit to their 2026 taxes, payable in 2027. If no response is received, refunds will be issued automatically.
Residents with questions are encouraged to contact the Treasurer’s Office for guidance.
