Parcels — ranked by assessed value over opening bid

No parcels published yet

The county has announced 3 parcels for this sale, but the parcel list itself has not been fetched yet — so there is nothing to rank here. Counties often publish it only days before the sale. Check back closer to Aug 21, 2026.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — R.C. 5715.01: taxable value is the percentage of true value the tax commissioner sets by rule, capped at 35%. The rule has been at the 35% ceiling for decades and applies uniformly statewide, with no classification by property type and no county overrides. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
