What the source says
both <https://www.levelset.com/blog/types-of-construction-projects/> private and public projects . These statutes govern the timing of all payments on construction projects, and impose penalties for late payment in the form of interest. Private Projects Payments for Ohio private construction projects are regulated by <http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4113.61> Ohio Rev. Code §4113.61: Time limitations for payments to subcontractors and materialmen. Payment Deadlines for Private Projects The Ohio prompt payment provisions on private projects do not govern payments from the property owner to the prime contractor. However, as of May 2020 <https://www.levelset.com/news/change-give-owners-35-days-pay-gcs/> the Ohio Legislature is considering an amendment that would set a 35-day deadline for payments from owner to prime. Currently, these payments should be made according to the terms of the contract between the parties. However, once the prime has received payment from the owner, they must pass payment down to their subcontractors and suppliers within 10 days of payment.
