in the hearing room on the fifth floor of the County Office Building in Bowling Green.The sale will be a
public auction and the parcels which are being offered due to non-payment of taxes will be sold to the
highest bidder. Each property has been forfeited to the state after failing to sell at sheriff’s sale.A
list of parcels is available at the Wood County Auditor’s Office or online at
www.co.wood.oh.us/auditor/. These parcels are located in six different taxing districts in the County as
follows: Henry Township, North Baltimore, Lake Township, Millbury, Custar and Risingsun.There are 15
parcels listed for sale at this date. However, if prior to sale time, the delinquent tax charges are
paid by the owner the parcel will be removed from the list. Included among the properties for sale are
the former Methodist Church west of Hammansburg and residential structures on three of the
parcels.Registration for the sale will begin at 9 a.m. in the fifth floor hearing room. Interested
parties are encouraged to make prior inquiries to be assured of the location of the property. The
successful bidder will receive an auditor’s deed for each parcel for the purchase price plus $5.50 deed
and transfer fee, giving clear and perfect title.Bidders are cautioned that this would not necessarily
extinguish any federal tax liens that may have been imposed on the parcel. The successful bidder will

the first half 2013 tax statement due February 2014.More information can be found online at
