Motor vehicle license settlements

 

Motor Vehicle License Tax
The Motor Vehicle License Tax is based on Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle license tax collection from the sale of license plates.  The Ohio Department of Taxation distributes this money monthly to the County. The County Auditor then distributes the funds to local governments according to the breakdown displayed by the State of Ohio.
