How a sheriff’s sale works in Ohio
- Before a foreclosed property is sold, the sheriff has three local property owners appraise it; for a home, the appraisal is due within 21 days of the court’s order. (source)
- A property can’t be sold for less than two-thirds of its appraised value, with some exceptions set by law. (source)
- Bidders other than the lender must put down a deposit on a home: $2,000 if it’s appraised at $10,000 or less, $5,000 up to $200,000, and $10,000 above that. (source)
- Each sale is advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the county once a week for at least three weeks before it. (source)
- After the sale, the Court of Common Pleas checks that it followed the law and confirms it, and the buyer then has 30 days to pay the balance. (source)
- Until the court confirms the sale, the owner can still redeem the property by paying the judgment, the costs and interest into the clerk of courts. (source)
