No. Ohio sale prices are public record. Before the county auditor accepts a deed, the buyer files a sworn statement of value giving the price. The auditor charges the conveyance fee on that value and stamps the fee on the deed, so county auditor records show what each property sold for.

Real property conveyance fee (state fee plus optional county real property transfer tax): State: "one dollar, or ten cents for each one hundred dollars or fraction of one hundred dollars, whichever is greater, of the value of the real property transferred" (R.C. 319.54(G)(3)). County: counties may add a real property transfer tax "at a rate not to exceed thirty cents per hundred dollars" (R.C. 322.02). The combined rate varies by county.
