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.
Often used after tax deed or to cure residual defects; judicial foreclosure judgment is the main clearing step on the foreclosure path.
Ohio hybrid tax-lien / tax-foreclosure county. Athens County Treasurer holds an annual tax lien sale to collect outstanding delinquent taxes; after one year, if lien charges and interest are not fully paid, the lien holder may foreclose. Separately, the Prosecutor may file foreclosure in the name of the Treasurer; properties proceed toward sheriff sale (athens.sheriffsaleauction.ohio.gov / RealAuction) if unpaid. Treasurer also posts current foreclosure lists and excess-funds claims. Do not confuse mortgage sheriff sales with tax-lien certificates. Athens / Ohio University / Hocking Hills fringe market — student rental and rural vacancy DD essential.
Inherited from Ohio rather than researched for Athens: type, redemption, returns, statute.
