Cost

COST:

Certified copies of both birth and death certificates at the Norwood City Health Department are $17 each.  This cost includes fees that we are required by law to collect on behalf of other agencies ($1.50 for Family Violence Prevention; $3.00 for Child Abuse Prevention; $5.00 for the Ohio Department of Health).  The Norwood City Health Department retains only $7.50 of the cost to maintain records, purchase vital statistics   paper and supplies and issue records.  Each local health district sets their fees for vital records storage and maintenance. 

Prior to burial or cremation, funeral directors are required by law to obtain burial permits.  The cost of burial permits is currently $3.00 and is forwarded to the Ohio Department of   Health less a 3% administration fee.

Payment for vital records at the Norwood City Health Department must be made by check, cash or money order.  We plan to offer payment by credit card in the near future.
