Medina County data dictionaryMailing address differs from the property.

Government, bank, builder and church owners are left out by default, so the count is owners you can actually write to.

The official source

Where the official Medina County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Medina 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 tax delinquent. Ohio rules and the Ohio guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Owners who do not live in the house are less attached to it, and every repair, vacancy or tax bill is a reason to sell.

  • Stack with owned 10+ years (tired landlords) or code violations.
  • Use the mailing address for direct mail: it is where the owner really lives.
