Public Notice is hereby given that on the 5th day of August, 2025, the Treasurer of Highland County, Ohio filed a Complaint in the Highland County Court of Common Pleas at Hillsboro, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against certain real property situated in such county, as described in that Complaint.

Such action is brought against the real property only and no personal judgment shall be entered in it. However, if pursuant to the action the property is sold for an amount less than the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest, against it, the court, in a separate order, may enter a deficiency judgment against the owner(s) of record of the parcel(s) for the amount of the difference; if that owner of record is a corporation, the court may enter the deficiency judgement against the stockholder holding a majority of the corporation's stock.

Such answers shall be filed in the office of the undersigned clerk of court, and a copy of the answer shall be served on the prosecuting attorney 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 judgement of foreclosure will be taken by default and shall be sold for the satisfaction of taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest, and the costs incurred in the foreclosure proceeding, which are due and unpaid. At any time prior to the filing of an entry of Confirmation of Sale, any owner or lienholder of, or other person with an interest in a parcel listed in the Complaint may redeem the parcel(s) by tendering to the Treasurer the amount of taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel(s), together with all costs incurred in the proceeding instituted against the parcel(s) under section 5721.18 of the Ohio Revised Code.
