55 periods Ohio law measures, gathered out of the file and put in order, shortest first. Each one says what starts it, whose period it is, and what the law attaches to it. The shortest here is 24 hours. The longest is 6 years.
Every period on this page is stated by a section of the file and carries that section's own authority. None of it is a calculation: a period that turns on facts, on service, or on a court's discretion is described the way the section describes it and no further.
55 deadlines
Traffic stops220 days
The notice goes by regular mail once twelve points have accumulated, and the suspension takes effect whether or not it was read.
30 days
A written request. A hearing officer decides it, and an appeal from that goes to court.
Being stopped15 court days
Held in a setting not likely to be harmful. The court refers the affidavit for investigation within 2 business days of receiving it.
Marijuana and drugs130 days
One of the conditions on the immunity, alongside the requirement that the evidence was obtained as a result of seeking or obtaining the assistance.
Court and money343 days
A seller who never gave the notice has not started the clock, which is a different position from one where the 3 days have simply run out.
3 days
Three days is the notice, not the eviction: the count from a notice on the door to an officer at it runs through a filing, a hearing and a writ. Notice periods differ for some grounds, and federally assisted housing can require longer.
5 business days
A written request delivered to the clerk. The hearing is then held no later than 12 days after the request. Nothing in the chapter applies an exemption on its own, because nobody has been asked to.
At least 7 days
Owed only to a party who has appeared in the action. A party who has never appeared is not owed that notice under the rule.
7 days
The school also assigns the child to an absence intervention team within 7 days of it, and that team builds a written plan within fourteen school days of the assignment.
Not less than 10 days
A sale takes place at least 15 days after the first publication. For a motor vehicle, trailer or watercraft, 30 days have to elapse after notice to the lienholders.
10 days
The officer restores the landlord to possession inside that period.
At least 14 days
The disconnection itself happens during the company's normal business hours.
15 calendar days
It has to reach the bureau of state hearings, which is a shorter and quieter deadline than the one that got the hearing.
15 days
Where nothing answers it, the creditor goes to court.
15 calendar days
Where an adverse action was taken without prior notice and the hearing request reaches the state or the local agency inside that window, benefits are reinstated to the previous level while it runs.
21 calendar days
The days run from when it was sent rather than from when anybody read it. A redetermination is appealable on the same terms, which is another 21 days running again from when it was sent. A final decision of the review commission carries 30 days to the court of common pleas.
28 days
Served on the lender's attorney and filed with the court within 3 days of serving it. Most foreclosures are decided by default, which means nobody answered.
Not less than 30 days
No fee, charge, assessment or rental fee may be increased, and no rule changed, without the operator specifying the date it takes effect, and that date has to be at least that far out. Nothing goes up during a rental agreement term.
At least 30 days before the hearing
Given once, by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, naming the court, the case number, and the date and time.
30 days
Any deduction has to be itemised and identified in a written notice delivered along with whatever amount is due. Where a written forwarding address was given and nothing comes back, the section carries double the amount wrongfully withheld plus reasonable attorney fees.
30 days
The report goes to the board, entity or person who asked for it. A sealed record is not invisible to every check.
30 days
Then the seller serves a written notice specifying which terms were not complied with, and the contract stands forfeited unless the buyer performs within 10 days of completed service. Two separate periods. At 5 years of payments, or 20 per cent of the price paid, forfeiture is off the table and it is foreclosure and judicial sale only.
30 days
There is a late filing fee where the new title issues after that, which is what says the state expects it inside the window. Until a new title is issued the record still shows the seller.
30 days past the scheduled payday
The section makes the employer liable for liquidated damages on top of the wages themselves. Where there is no regularly scheduled payday the period is 60 days instead, running from the filing of a claim or from the act that made the wages payable.
45 days
A court claim needs either a right to sue notice issued by the commission or more than that period passing without one. Somebody who waits eighteen months and then files a lawsuit, comfortably inside the 2 years, has a claim that fails on the procedure.
60 days
Work that is not a residential dwelling is 75 days. A lien filed outside the window is not a lien. After one is paid, the lienholder has 30 days from the owner's affidavit to release it.
60 days
The request is written and signed, and it carries a date that has to be no more than that far before submission. A request signed months earlier is not a request that meets the section.
60 days
The petition itself waits on the end of every period of supervision imposed for the offence.
No later than 61 days
And only where the child has refused to take part in the plan or has failed to make satisfactory progress on it. A complaint filed without the plan having been run is a complaint filed out of order.
90 calendar days
Inaction counts: a decision never made is as appealable as a decision made badly. The 90 days does not start at all unless the person was given notice of hearing rights about the specific thing being appealed.
1 year
A reasonable time in every case, and not more than a year where the ground is one of the first three the rule lists. A ground, a reasonable time and the timing all have to be present, and any two of the three is not enough.
1 year
Shortened in 2017 from 2 years to 1, so anything written before October of that year says 2 and a great deal written since repeats it. An occupational disease is not on that clock.
2 years
The civil limitation period used to be 6 years. It is 2 now, and it is the same 2 for the administrative route. The period pauses while the commission investigates.
2 years
On proof of a violation or threatened violation the court of common pleas shall issue an injunction.
2 years
Or 1 year after the attorney general's proceedings about that violation end, whichever of the two is later.
2 years
A no bill has a clock of its own, and an application may be filed at any time after it. None of this is automatic: a case ending in a person's favour does not close the record by itself, and an application is what starts it.
2 years
An agreement to pay a fee or commission to locate, deliver, recover or assist in recovering unclaimed funds, entered into inside that period, is invalid. Made after it, an agreement is valid where it is written and signed and the fee is ten per cent or less.
6 years
A contract not in writing is 4 years. A note runs 6 years from its due date.
Your home424 hours
The statute supplies that as the benchmark for reasonable notice, absent evidence to the contrary, and requires entry only at reasonable times.
72 hours
Where the child is not released, a complaint has to be filed and a hearing held promptly and no later than that. The point of the hearing is whether the detention or shelter care is required.
At least 7 days
Measured against the date the notice names, and a floor rather than a ceiling. Nothing prevents more notice.
At least 30 days before the periodic rental date
Measured against the rental date rather than counted forward from today. Notice given on the tenth, for a rental date on the first, is not 30 days before the first of the following month. It reaches the month after that.
Charges and penalties12Not later than 3 days after it changes
The opposite direction from the home address, which is registered 20 days ahead of the move. Two rules in one section, counting opposite ways.
10 days before trial, or 3 days after notice of the trial date, whichever is later
The demand has to be in writing and filed with the clerk. The words whichever is later do real work: notice that arrives 9 days out has not closed the window, it has opened a 3 day one.
14 days
A motion made at or before the commencement of trial, and not sooner than 14 days before the eligibility date, dismisses the charges with prejudice unless the person is brought to trial inside that period.
20 days before the address changes
Ahead of the move, not after it. The same 20 days applies to a change of school or of an institution of higher education. Where another state's law applies, the section sets the deadline as the earlier of the period that state requires or at least 7 days before the change.
21 days before trial
A period the court may change for good cause. The report carries a summary of the expert's qualifications.
30 days
A court may extend it for good cause. The clock runs from the seizure, not from the charge.
30 days
Past it, a criminal defendant may seek leave for a delayed appeal, and the motion has to set out why the appeal as of right was not taken.
At least 30 days before the action is filed
It is a civil demand and not a criminal one, and it is the letter people receive. The section allows recovery of reasonable attorney fees on smaller claims where its conditions are met.
35 days after arraignment, or 7 days before trial, whichever is earlier
The court may extend the time in the interest of justice. The jury demand in the trial rule runs the other way, on whichever is later, which is two rules in one set of rules counting in opposite directions.
270 days
A misdemeanour runs shorter: 90 days for a first or second degree misdemeanour, 45 for a third or fourth, 30 for a minor one. Each day held in jail in lieu of bail on the pending charge counts as three, so a felony's 270 becomes 90 for somebody who cannot post bond.
365 days
Not from the conviction and not from the appeal being decided, which is what makes it the filing nobody tells the defendant about.
5 years
Or the person's twenty third birthday, whichever date is earlier. Nothing has to be applied for: expungement follows a sealing on its own.
How you carry yourself148 hours
A judge has to look at whether there was probable cause to hold you, without unnecessary delay and generally inside that window. That review is about the paperwork, and it can happen without you in the room.
