Like a small number of other states in the U.S., Ohio uses numeric codes to identify the name of the county that issues each motor vehicle license plate. County numbers (1-88) are assigned to each county, depending on where the county name falls in the alphabet.

In Ohio the county number appears on a sticker affixed to the lower left-hand corner of the plate.
