Deed in Dayton, Ohio
A deed transfers ownership of real property from the grantor to the grantee. Recording it gives public notice of the transfer, and in most states the order of recording decides who wins between competing buyers. In Dayton, deeds are recorded with the Montgomery County Recorder, and a HeritageDeed title search lists them for the property.
How Dayton records it
