PUBLICATION NOTICE

Notice of Foreclosure of Liens for delinquent land taxes, by action in rem by the County Treasurer of Mercer County, Ohio.

Public Notice is hereby given that on the 15th day of October, 2021, the County Treasurer of Mercer County, Ohio, filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, Mercer County, Ohio, at Celina, for foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against certain real property situated in such count, as described in that complaint.

The object of the action is to obtain from the Court a judgment foreclosing these tax liens against such real estate and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of the tax liens on it.

Such action is brought against the real property only. However, if pursuant to the action the property is sold for an amount that is less than the amount of delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against it, the court, in a separate order, may enter a deficiency judgment against the owner of a record of a parcel for the amount of the difference; if that owner of record is a corporation, the court may enter the deficiency judgment against the stockholder holding a majority of the corporation's stock.

The permanent parcel number of each parcel included in such action; the full street address of the parcel, if available; a description of the parcel as set forth in the associated delinquent land tax certificate or master list of delinquent tracts; a statement of the amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel; the name and address of the last known owner of the parcel as they appear on the general tax list; and where a complete legal description may be obtained are as follows:

A complete legal description is docketed with the Clerk of Courts as part of the pleadings in this matter and also may be obtained from the deed on file at the Office of the Mercer County

Recorder's Office.
