The official source

Where the official Delaware County list lives

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with tax delinquent. Ohio rules and the Ohio guide explain how the process works.
