Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 303.11, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 303.11.
If the zoning resolution is adopted by the board of county commissioners, such board
shall cause the question of whether or not the proposed plan of zoning shall be put
into effect to be submitted to the electors residing in the unincorporated area of
the county included in the proposed plan of zoning for their approval or rejection
at the next primary or general election, or a special election may be called for this
purpose. Such resolution shall be filed with the board of elections not later than four p.m.
on the ninetieth day before the day of the election. No zoning regulations shall be put into effect in any township, unless a majority
of the vote cast on the issue in that township is in favor of the proposed plan of
zoning. Upon certification by the board of elections the resolution shall take immediate
effect in all townships which voted approval, eliminating from the plan any township
which did not vote approval. Within five working days after the resolution's effective date, the board of county
commissioners shall file it, including text and maps, in the office of the county
recorder. The board shall also file duplicates of the same documents with the regional or
county planning commission, if one exists, within the same period. The board shall file all resolutions, including text and maps, that are in effect
on January 1, 1992, in the office of the county recorder within thirty working days
after that date. The board shall also file duplicates of the same documents with the regional or
county planning commission, if one exists, within the same period. The failure to file a resolution, or any text and maps, or duplicates of any of these
documents, with the office of the county recorder or the county or regional planning
commission as required by this section does not invalidate the resolution and is not
grounds for an appeal of any decision of the board of zoning appeals.
