Summit County itself sets no countywide blight ordinance. Blight, nuisance and property-maintenance enforcement is handled by your city, village, or township. The county Fiscal Office only identifies and verifies vacant/abandoned properties for appraisal purposes.
Ohio is a MIXED, home-rule state: incorporated cities and villages (Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Barberton, Stow, Twinsburg, Hudson) adopt their own property-maintenance and nuisance codes, while townships (Copley, Coventry, Springfield, Bath) act under ORC Chapter 505. The Summit County Fiscal Office runs a vacant-property field-check program to help appraisers gauge neighborhood impact, but explicitly tells residents to 'contact your local municipality for high grass or nuisance complaints.' Because Summit is a charter county it can adopt some countywide health/nuisance rules through Summit County Public Health, but general blight abatement remains local.
Penalties and abatement (fines, liens, forced cleanup) are set and enforced by each city, village, or township under its own code, not by the county.
