The Ohio Housing Locator collaboration is committed to increasing access and awareness of lead-safe housing.

Ohio Lead-Safe/Free Registry

Lead has been used for many years in products found in and around our homes. Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint.

The owner or agent of the residential rental unit may register the rental unit on the lead-safe residential rental unit registry. Documentation must be provided by the owner or agent to identify all or some units/buildings that are lead-safe. Lead-safe certification is in accordance with Ohio Administrative Code, 3701-81.
