YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Mahoning County Auditor Ralph T. Meacham announced Wednesday that his office will hold an auditor sale of forfeited land at 10 a.m. Sept. 30 in the commissioners’ hearing room at the Mahoning County Courthouse.
The parcels in the forfeited land sale were offered at two sheriff’s sales but were not sold, a news release states. The properties were then forfeited to the state of Ohio for the auditor to sell as an agent of the state.
Bidders must be preregistered to bid on properties in the sale. Bidders must submit all three completed preregistration forms to the Mahoning County Auditor’s Office by 4:30 p.m. Sept. 23. Affidavits must be notarized before submitting. No notary is available in the Mahoning County Courthouse. Notarized forms can be submitted in person or by mail. Postmarks will not be accepted as proof of timely submission, and forms postmarked Sept. 23 but received after the deadline will also not be accepted.

“I encourage anyone who may be interested in purchasing a property to review the information on our website as this is a buyer beware sale,” Meacham said. “The county auditor does not give any representation regarding possession, eviction, prior inspection, scheduled demolition, health code violation or any other matter.”
