The Sandusky County Land Bank acquires the majority of our properties through tax foreclosure. The foreclosure process is a multi-step legal process involving several agencies, including the Auditor, Treasurer, Prosecutor, Courts and Land Bank. While statutory timelines may suggest a shorter process, actual timelines vary significantly based on property conditions, legal requirements, and case volume. In practice, some properties may move through the process in months, while others – particularly those with complex title issues or limited legal capacity – may take considerably longer.
