The transfer type is the deed type (AFF affidavit, COT certificate of transfer, FID fiduciary, EXD executor, TOD transfer on death = inheritance deeds; SUR survivorship = a normal purchase deed for couples; EX exempt conveyance; SHD sheriff). Union does not record sellers, so the seller shown is the buyer of the transfer before.

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.
