General Schedule List

The General Schedule List found below are recommended records retention schedules developed by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for general business functions of a government agency. While State Agencies may create their own records retention schedules, they can also adopt any of these general schedules as a retention schedule for their agency records management program. Use the “Agency Schedule Search” and “Agency-Adopted General Schedule Search” to view what active retention schedules a State Agency may have created or adopted for their records management needs.
