IT'S TIME FOR A FIRE IN THE FIREPLACE

GOT FIREWOOD???

The Medina County Auditor's Office would like to remind people that, with the onset of cold weather, more people will be ordering firewood.  Legally, firewood should only be sold by the "cord"or by fractions of a cord.  A cord is 128 cubic feet when the height times the length times the width is computed.

It is important to know that terms such as "truckload," "face cord," "rack" and "pile" have no legally-defined meaning and therefore a buyer has no way of determining how much firewood he is actually receiving. Make sure you have a telephone number and sales receipt for your wood. Stack your wood when you receive it and determine if it is a cord.  If not, and if the seller will not correct the problem, contact Shawn Bland in the Weights and Measures Department of our Office for assistance.
