PUBLIC 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 20th day of February, 2015, 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).

Any person owning or claiming any right, title or interest in any parcel or real property above listed may file an answer in such action setting forth the nature and amount of interest owned or claimed and any defense or objection to the foreclosure. Such answer shall be filed in the office of the undersigned clerk of the court, and a copy of the answer shall be served on the prosecuting attorney on or before the 9th day of April, 2015, (twenty-eight days after the date of final publication of this notice).

If no answer is filed with respect to a parcel listed in the complaint on or before the date specified as the last day for filing an answer, a judgment of foreclosure will be taken by default as to that parcel. Any parcel as to which a foreclosure is taken by default shall be sold for the satisfaction of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest, and the costs included in the foreclosure proceeding, which are due and unpaid.

At any time prior to the filing of any entry of confirmation of sale, any owner, lienholder, or other person with an interest in a parcel listed in the complaint, may redeem the parcel by tendering to the treasurer the amount of the taxes, assessment, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel, together with all costs included in the proceeding instituted against the parcel under Section 5721.18 (B) of the Revised Code. Upon the filing of any entry of confirmation of sale, there shall be no further equity of redemption. After the filing of any such entry, any person claiming any right, title, or interest in, or lien upon, any parcel shall be forever barred and foreclosed of any such right, title, or interest in, lien upon, and any equity of redemption in, such parcel.
