Statzer said he believes it will still be best for people to use their office, not an online state tool. Swain said she is not anticipating a big hit to her bottom line because the majority of their work is with car dealers who still must use the clerk's office. Swain said the state is also supposed to be rolling out a portal so "casual sales" title transfers between private owners can be done without going to a clerk's office. In addition to online vehicle registration at the BMV, drivers may now also renew their car registrations at kiosks like the one at the Fairfield Meijer store. "Which would allow our office some ability to help customers with out-of-state inspections and first-time vehicle registrations." "We are hoping to be granted a Limited Authority Deputy Registrar approval for our new Monroe Title Office," Statzer said.

"It was an obvious decision not to relocate, based upon changing economic outlooks, and facing the current lease's expiration date necessitated the decision not to renew," Swain said two years ago. Then the pandemic descended, and after the county commissioners ordered 7.4% budget cuts over two years, she abandoned the plan. Swain had an office in Middletown for years and was hoping to relocate the Middletown office to another location in that area of the county when the current lease expired in July 2020. The office is scheduled to open by early June. The county commissioners recently approved a $163,200 five-year lease for a store front in the Kroger plaza on Ohio 63 in Monroe for a new vehicle title office. 7-After nearly two years ofButler County residents in the northern part of the county travelling far for vehicle titles and passports, Clerk of Courts Mary Swain is opening a new title office in Monroe. ![]()
