In a statement on Wednesday, the county board said Harte felt it was "appropriate for him to move on" after Kelly made the decision to step down.
Following spells with Louth and Derry after leaving Tyrone, three-time All-Ireland winner Harte joined Offaly in 2024 as joint-boss alongside Kelly, who had been in charge since 2023.
In 2025, the pair led the county to promotion to Division Two but they were relegated back to the third tier earlier this year.
This season, Offaly were knocked out of the Leinster SFC in the first round and progressed to the last four of the Tailteann Cup, where they were beaten 2-26 to 4-15 by Wicklow.
"Offaly GAA has been informed by joint senior football managers Declan Kelly and Mickey Harte of their decision to step down from their roles," read the statement.
"The county board would like to express its sincere thanks to Declan, Mickey, head coach Luke Bree and the entire management and backroom team for their dedication, commitment and professionalism throughout their tenure with the Offaly senior football team.
"We wish Declan, Mickey, Luke and all of the management and backroom team every success and happiness in the future."
