Prior to the advertised auction sale date/time, the plaintiff (the party who initiated the action) can withdraw the property from the sale for a variety of reasons. Additionally, information on upcoming sales, as well as results of past sales, can be found on the Sheriff’s website by clicking on the link here. All sales conducted by the Sheriff’s Office are advertised in the Hamilton and/or Middletown Journal News on Sundays well in advance of the sale date. Sale dates are then established, and state law requires that the property be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation within the County for a period of three (3) weeks prior to the scheduled auction sale date. Foreclosure actions for non-payment of real estate taxes, and some general foreclosures subject to certain court orders, do not require appraisals. An appraisal team, duly appointed and sworn by the Sheriff in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, conducts the appraisal, and files a notice of their action and valuation back to the court. The Sheriff’s Office involvement in the foreclosure process begins when a Common Pleas Court issues a formal “Order of Sale.” If the foreclosure is not a result of non-payment of real estate taxes, the order typically directs that the property be appraised. The remaining 383 cases were either withdrawn by the Plaintiffs prior to the sale, or the properties received no bids at the time of auction. In 2017, the Sheriff Sales Unit processed 989 court-issued Orders of Sale, and sold 606 properties at sales.

The Sheriff’s Office plays a substantial role in that process, and the Sheriff has delegated responsibility in those efforts to the Sheriff Sales Unit, consisting of Civil Administrative Specialist Monte Mayer and Administrative Clerical Specialist Bobbie Benton and Paralegal Sherry Buchheim. The Butler County Sheriff’s Office is looking to apprehend JASON LYLE KOSHER on several warrants, including Aggravated Possession (F-2), Theft (F-5), a bench warrant (M-1) and a failure to appear warrant. State law provides a foreclosure process by which lenders, other lien holders, and even the County Treasurer can force the sale of real estate property in order to satisfy judgements obtained against debtors who have failed to meet their financial obligations.
