Fiscal Services FAQs

Questions about invoice payments, county warrants (checks), unclaimed funds, and employment tax rates.

My company submitted an invoice to Fairfield County. Has it been paid?

Invoices are submitted to the Auditor's office for payment after they are approved by the Board of County Commissioners. If you have questions about a submitted invoice, please contact the department or agency you dealt with first. If you still haven't been satisfied, contact the Finance Department of the Auditor's office at (740) 652-7040.

What if a County warrant (check) is more than 60 days old?

The County warrant states that it must be presented within 60 days to receive payment. If you try to deposit or cash a warrant that is older than 60 days, it may not be honored when presented for redemption. Stale-dated warrants are paid periodically into unclaimed funds.

To find out whether a specific warrant can still be presented for payment or has become stale-dated, call (740) 652-7045.

How can I obtain a listing of unclaimed funds?

A listing of all stale-dated warrants currently held in unclaimed funds is available by visiting the Ohio Department of Commerce.

What is the County's employment tax rate?

Fairfield County does not impose an income tax on wage earners. Various municipalities and school districts within the County have their own employment taxes. Call the specific political subdivision to learn the current tax rate.
