Please be advised that Ohio law recently changed to require that 3rd purchasers of real property purchased at a tax foreclosure sale must execute an affidavit affirming that they do not owe any delinquent real property taxes in Ohio pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 5721.19(J). This requirement applies to individuals, or their pass through entities as applicable, and corporations who are purchasing real property at tax foreclosure sales. Failure to execute the required affidavit shall result in title of the purchased real property not transferring to the 3rd party purchaser. The affidavit will be sent to the purchaser for review after the sale has been completed.
