OH HB93

Creates limitations on municipalities' ability to place liens on non-owner-occupied properties for unpaid water, sewer, and disposal service charges exceeding the "termination amount" (the threshold at which service can be shut off).

Establishes a rebuttable presumption that charges above the termination amount cannot be recovered against property owners unless the municipality proves circumstances such as property owner agreement to pay, owner occupancy, or good faith mitigation efforts.

Requires municipalities to provide notice to property owners before placing liens and to attempt collection at least three times via certified mail with a minimum 180-day waiting period before certification.

Grants property owners and tenants the right to appeal municipal liens and improper billing complaints to municipal or county courts, with courts able to award reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing property owners.

Modifies how collected water, sewer, and garbage disposal revenues are distributed: 90% to the municipal corporation and 10% to the county treasurer's delinquent tax and assessment collection fund.
