Ohio Home Equity Regulations

Ohio Consumer Protections

Ohio Revised Code Protections

Ohio follows federal regulations and has additional state protections under the Ohio Revised Code, including anti-predatory lending provisions.

These protections include restrictions on certain loan terms and requirements for fair lending practices.

Generous Homestead Exemption

Ohio provides a homestead exemption of up to $145,425 that protects home equity from most creditors, one of the more generous exemptions in the nation.

This exemption provides significant protection while not affecting voluntary liens like mortgages and home equity loans.

Disclosure Requirements

Ohio requires comprehensive disclosure of all loan terms, costs, and risks, supplementing federal Truth in Lending Act requirements.

Borrowers must receive clear information about variable rates, payment changes, and potential risks of home equity borrowing.

Efficient Recording System

Ohio has an efficient county recording system that facilitates faster title searches and property transfers compared to many other states.

This efficiency often results in faster closing times and lower administrative costs.

Agricultural Property Considerations

Ohio has specific considerations for agricultural properties, including farms and rural land, with some lenders specializing in agricultural financing.

Agricultural properties may qualify for special loan programs and different appraisal methods.
