The official source

Where the official Franklin County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Franklin County Auditor. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

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 inheritance deed. Ohio rules and the Ohio guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Managing a house from another state is hard. Out-of-state owners, often heirs or former residents, are among the most willing sellers.
