Land Bank staff update dozens of foreclosures and sheriff's-sale dates
Summary
Land Bank staff reported on extensive foreclosure activity: complaints filed, affidavits of publication, motions for default and summary judgment, entries of default, sheriff's sale dates, confirming entries and deeds, and several cases dismissed or taxes paid.
County staff provided the board with a comprehensive update on foreclosure activity and sheriff's-sale scheduling across Fayette County. Mark Miller summarized multiple stages of the legal process: complaints filed with service pending (e.g., 13345 Reid; 7 Maple), affidavits for publication (6724 White Oak; Lot 23 Duke Plaza), motions for default or summary judgment (33 E Walnut; 17 Miron), and entries of default on several parcels (10144 Ohio 729; 11 Wayne; 314 E Paint). Several orders of sale have been issued, with sheriff's sales scheduled on multiple dates and at least one property (21 Cross, Bloomingburg) marked SOLD.
The update also covered petitions to receive land through forfeiture (324 N Main; 410 Delaware), entries ordering land forfeited (11880 SR 38 N; 828 S Main), confirming entries and sheriff's deeds for numerous parcels (901 Sycamore; 708 Campbell), and cases dismissed or taxes paid where funds were returned to the county treasurer (including $30,000 related to 702 Rose/950 Delaware). Staff noted that some WCH rental properties remain under hold pending release from Huntington, and the board reviewed an expanded inventory of parcels now in the Land Bank's name (including 319 N Hinde and others).
