How we collect and check county records →About Stark County's records
From the Auditor's parcel roll: market (appraised) and assessed values, this year's bill, what is paid and the balance owed, and the certified-delinquent year. Mailing address = where the county mails notices; "tax bill to" shows the mortgage company when one pays. Transfers come with the deed type (WD warranty, SU survivorship, QC quit claim, SH sheriff …) and an arm's-length flag. In foreclosure = a foreclosure case filed this year or last year (bank or tax), from the Auditor's foreclosure-case list.

How unpaid tax and foreclosure work in Ohio
Unpaid tax is certified delinquent after about a year; the county treasurer then forecloses through the court or the Board of Revision, and sheriff sales are held online. Some counties also sell tax lien certificates. The owner can pay the full amount until the court confirms the sheriff sale.
Mortgage foreclosures: judicial. Mortgage foreclosures go through the court of common pleas and end with an online sheriff sale.
