Bidding method
Online competitive bidding; for tax parcels, bidding begins at the delinquent-tax amount. NOTE: Franklin's tax LIEN certificates are sold as a single block to one institutional buyer and are NOT sold individually or over-the-counter -- the sheriff's tax-foreclosure deed sale is the retail-accessible route.
Statutory maximum rate
Public-auction lien certificates: 18%/yr, bid down (ORC 5721.32) -- but Franklin uses a single-block negotiated sale, so this does not apply to a retail buyer. Foreclosure deed sales carry no interest.
Redemption period
Owner may redeem before the foreclosure decree is confirmed (ORC 5721.38); no post-confirmation redemption.
Deposit requirement
For tax parcels, the deposit equals the delinquent-tax starting bid (Sheriff FAQ).
