Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 2715.044, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2715.044.
An order of attachment issued by a court shall not be effective until the plaintiff
that filed the motion for attachment files with the court a bond to the defendant
against whom the motion was filed, executed by the plaintiff's surety, in an amount
twice the approximate value of the property to be attached under the order, to the
effect that, should judgment be issued against the plaintiff, the plaintiff will return
the property taken or pay the value so assessed, at the election of the defendant,
and also pay the damages suffered by the defendant as a result of the taking and detention
of, and any injury to, the property and the costs of the action. If the plaintiff does not know the approximate value of the property sought to be
attached under the order, or if the identity of the property to be attached is not
known, the bond shall be in an amount twice that of the plaintiff's claim, as indicated
in the plaintiff's affidavit filed pursuant to section 2715.03 of the Revised Code . In lieu of the bond, the plaintiff may deposit with the clerk of the court cash in
an amount equal to twice the approximate value of the property or, if that value is
not known or the identity of the property to be attached is not known, equal to twice
the amount of the claim of the plaintiff. When the ground of attachment is that the defendant is a foreign corporation, or not
a resident of this state, the order of attachment may be issued without a bond. If the plaintiff is indigent, the court may, on motion of the plaintiff or on its
own motion, waive the bond required by this section or may set the bond in a lower
amount, as fairness requires.
