All care is taken to ensure the accuracy of the sale information; however, we cannot control the information provided to us. The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office assumes no liability for erroneous information. Properties are listed here after the Sheriff’s Office has received an Order of Sale, had the property appraised, and set a date for sale. The Sheriff’s Office has no information on foreclosures before the court orders the sale. A sale may be cancelled at any time prior to the actual sale or withdrawn with a court order. Sales are advertised in the Clermont Sun newspaper unless otherwise requested by the plaintiff’s attorney. Sheriff’s Sales of Real Estate (Foreclosure) and Tax Sales are advertised for three weeks.

Purchasers at sale are cautioned that in accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 2329.30: The court from which an execution or order of sale issues, upon notice and motion of the officer who makes the sale or of an interested party, may punish any purchaser of lands and tenements who fails to pay within thirty days of the confirmation of the sale the balance due on the purchase price of the lands and tenements by forfeiting the sale of the lands and tenements and returning any deposit paid in connection with the sale of the lands and tenements, by forfeiting any deposit paid in connection with the sale of the lands and tenements, as for contempt, or in any other manner the court considers appropriate. Upon motion, the court may order the return of any remaining portion of the deposit of the purchaser, less the costs of a subsequent sale and any other remedy the court considers appropriate. An order for contempt for failure of the purchaser to pay voids the confirmation of sale and transfer.
