Under Ohio Revised Code 4511.19 and HB 37 (effective April 9, 2025), a first OVI conviction in Delaware County carries a mandatory minimum of 3 days in jail or a certified Driver Intervention Program, fines of $565 to $1,075, and a license suspension of 1 to 3 years. High-tier OVI (BAC 0.17% or above) carries enhanced mandatory minimums.

After an OVI arrest in Delaware County, the arresting officer issues an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) under ORC 4511.191. You have only 30 days from the date of the ALS to appeal it at Delaware County Municipal Court. Missing this deadline permanently waives your right to contest the suspension — even if the underlying OVI charge is later reduced or dismissed. Contact our office immediately after an OVI arrest.
