Sell your Ohio land for cash

Yes, and the total rate depends on the county. Every Ohio county auditor charges a conveyance fee of 10 cents per $100 of the property's value, with a $1 minimum. A county can add a real property transfer tax of up to 30 cents per $100 of value. Your county auditor or title company can tell you the total rate in your county.

Penalties and interest are added, and the county can foreclose on the land. Ohio adds a 10% penalty to each half-year tax payment not made by its due date, and interest then accrues on delinquent taxes. The county treasurer can then enforce the tax lien by foreclosure, in court or before the county board of revision. If the county sold a tax certificate on your parcel, the holder can seek foreclosure after one year. Redeeming after that can add 18% yearly interest and reasonable attorney fees.

Usually until the court confirms the sale, but vacant land can have a much shorter window. You redeem by paying the taxes, penalties, interest, charges and costs before the entry confirming the sale is filed. After foreclosure starts, you must also show the property complies with zoning, land use, building, health and safety codes. For unoccupied delinquent land, the treasurer can choose a 28-day redemption period that starts when the foreclosure judgment is journalized. If delinquent vacant land owes more than the auditor's value, the court or county board of revision can transfer it without a sale. The land then goes to a local government or county land bank, and redemption ends. Your county treasurer can tell you which process applies to your parcel.

Not if the land has no home on it. Ohio's disclosure form law covers residential real property, defined as real property improved by a building or structure with one to four dwelling units. Vacant land with no dwelling falls outside that definition. Even for a home, the law exempts some sales, such as a sale by an executor while settling an estate. Ask an Ohio real estate attorney what you must tell a buyer about your parcel. Source: Ohio Revised Code 5302.30.

Not by itself, if the new owner applies to keep the land in CAUV and it still qualifies. Ohio charges recoupment when CAUV land is converted. Conversion includes a new owner failing to file an initial CAUV application without good cause, or the land no longer qualifying. The charge equals the tax savings on the converted land for the three tax years before the conversion. It is a state lien on the land, so ask your county auditor how a sale affects your parcel.
