Collections Enforcement and Revenue Recovery

The Attorney General’s Office is responsible for collecting outstanding debt owed to the state of Ohio--everything from past due book fines at state libraries to unpaid corporate income taxes. The Collections Enforcement and Revenue Recovery Sections make that happen.

Collections Enforcement interprets and enforces the state’s debt collection laws. It also operates the “offer in compromise” program, which allows debtors to settle with the state. Collections Enforcement’s phone number is (614) 466-8360.

Revenue Recovery collects debt by working with private debt collection agencies or contacting debtors directly to try to get them to pay or otherwise resolve their debts to the state. Revenue Recovery’s phone number is (877) 607-6400
