Terms and Conditions of Sheriff's Sales for Tax Foreclosed Property

The buyer must provide 10% payment at the time of sale. The method of payment is cash, cashiers check, money order, or personal checks from Preble County residents only. The balance must be paid upon confirmation of sale and after the deed has been delivered.

All checks must be made payable to the Preble County Sheriff.

A person who has had his property foreclosed may redeem his property by paying the taxes owed, thereby effectively cancelling the sale, up until the time that the confirmation of sale is filed. Once the confirmation of sale has been filed, the person may not redeem the property by paying the taxes owed.

Bids will start with the total amount owed for taxes, court costs, assessments, penalties and interest.
