How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Ohio
Ohio is a hybrid state with two distinct tracks. Counties with a population of 200,000 or more — such as Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton — may sell tax-lien certificates at an 18% bid-down under ORC 5721.30 to 5721.43. On this track the county sells a certificate that conveys the tax lien and the right to collect the debt plus interest, not the property itself. Separately, all counties can foreclose delinquent parcels and sell the property at a sheriff's sale, conveying a deed; parcels offered twice without selling are forfeited to the state or subdivision under ORC 5723 and sold later. Which route applies to a given parcel depends on county size and how the county chooses to enforce — smaller counties are deed-and-foreclosure only.
Bidding & Auctions
On the tax-lien certificate track, bidding is an interest-rate bid-down starting at 18% per year and decreasing in 0.25% increments to as low as 0%; the certificate goes to the bidder accepting the lowest rate. In the largest counties the certificate book is often sold in bulk to institutional buyers through a negotiated sale under ORC 5721.33 rather than offered parcel-by-parcel to small investors. On the foreclosure and forfeiture track, the delinquent property is sold at a premium bid-up sheriff's or forfeiture auction to the highest bidder, commonly through RealAuction (ohio.realforeclose.com) or GovEase.
Redemption & Penalties
Redemption depends on the track. On a tax-lien certificate, a one-year redemption period runs from the date the certificate is sold (ORC 5721.37(A)(1)); the certificate holder cannot start foreclosure until that year passes, and the owner may redeem throughout it — including through an installment redemption payment plan under ORC 5721.38, with the final installment due no later than one year after the sale. On the foreclosure and forfeiture deed track, the owner may redeem only until the court confirms the sale; once the sale is confirmed and the deed recorded, redemption rights terminate. Federal tax liens may still survive per ORC 5723.
See Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5721 (Delinquent Lands). Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

Can I buy a tax lien in Ohio?▾
Only in counties with a population of 200,000 or more, such as Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Hamilton. Smaller counties do not run certificate sales and are foreclosure-and-deed only. In the biggest counties the certificate book is often sold in bulk to institutions.
What interest does an Ohio tax-lien certificate earn?▾
Up to 18% per year, set by a competitive bid-down in 0.25% increments to as low as 0%. The county also pays the certificate holder 18% on subsequent advances under ORC 5721.38.
How long is the redemption period on an Ohio certificate?▾
One year from the date the certificate is sold (ORC 5721.37). The holder cannot begin foreclosure until that year passes, and the owner may redeem throughout — including through an installment payment plan under ORC 5721.38.
How does the foreclosure track differ from the certificate track?▾
On the foreclosure and forfeiture track the property itself is sold at a sheriff's auction and conveyed by deed. The owner may redeem only until the court confirms the sale; after confirmation and recording, redemption rights end.
