Ohio surplus rules
- Claim window
- No fixed deadline while the clerk holds the money. The sheriff hands the balance to the clerk within 45 days of the sale being confirmed, the clerk must notify the former owner, and the clerk pays it on demand. Money still unclaimed after the clerk's yearly unclaimed-funds listing can be paid over to the county treasurer.
- Fees and assignments
- No fee cap in these sections. Liens and judgments against the former owner can be paid from the balance first, so a lienholder may claim it before the owner.
- Law
- Ohio Rev. Code 2329.44, 2335.34 and 2335.35Read the statute (1)Read the statute (2)
