Noble County Title Fee Increase Effective March 2, 2026

The Noble County Board of Commissioners has adopted a resolution authorizing the certificate of title fee to increase from $18 to $23, effective March 2, 2026. Noble County is now the fourth county in Ohio to approve this increase, joining Crawford (currently in effect), Columbiana (effective March 1, 2026), and Lake (currently in effect).

The increase does not affect dealer-paid (wholesale) titles, which remain $5.

As a reminder, the cost of a certificate of title is determined by the county where the title is issued, not where the consumer resides. Due to cross-county titling, a dealer may choose to title customer vehicles in any county. For example, dealers who choose to apply for title in Noble County will charge customers $23. Dealers who apply for title in counties that have not increased their fees will continue to collect $18 from their customers.

The Ohio BMV has created a spreadsheet tracking the cost of titles for all counties. The spreadsheet can be accessed by visiting Ohio BMV. OADA will keep dealers apprised if a county increases its fee. Dealers are also encouraged to stay in contact with the county or counties with whom they do business.
