ANNOUNCEMENTS
NOVEMBER 9, 2021 - AUCTION HAS BEEN DELAYED!!
The auction of the property located at 1092 Twp Rd 2916, Perrysville, OH, has been delayed due to discovery of additional information.
It appears there may be other lots and rights-of-way which are related to the property, which may come into the Land Bank's possession relatively soon. Also, we've discovered that there may be difficulty obtaining approval for a septic system on the lot. We are currently working on resolving these issues and will repost with new auction date when we have more clarity.
Continue to check our website for upcoming auctions.

Each parcel will be considered on a case-by-case basis and be reviewed for the best interest of the community.
