How does the sale work?
Do you take sealed bids?


By law the sale must be a public sale, unless ordered by the Court. The sales are held on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m., at the Rutherford B. Hayes Service Building, located at 140 N. Sandusky Street.

You or a representative must appear to bid. All bidding is done at the sale. No prior or sealed bids are taken. It works the same as any auction.

There is no prior registration. Make sure you can meet the terms of the sale. Have your deposit at the sale. If you do not have the full deposit amount at the time of sale, the sale is invalid. Have your bank check made out to yourself; you can then easily redeposit it in the bank if you are not the successful bidder.

Caution,
this is a Court function; if the sale is not completed, you are subject to being held in contempt of court.
