Delinquent Tax
Delinquent Real Estate List as of May 1, 2026
Every effort is made by the Stark County Treasurer’s Office to avoid Foreclosure proceedings to collect an outstanding balance on real estate or mobile home taxes. If the taxpayer should fall behind, a formal 12-month or 24-month Delinquent Tax Repayment Contract Plan is available provided all criteria below is met:
After the complaint is filed, a summons is delivered to the taxpayer by certified mail. As soon as the complaint is filed with the Clerk of Courts, additional fees accrue. A copy of the complaint is sent to any party owning an interest in the property. The taxpayer has 28 days to respond.
If the situation remains unresolved, an order of sale is placed on the parcel and is sent to the Stark County Sheriff to schedule a sale date. Once a sale date is scheduled, the local newspaper will advertise the sale three consecutive weeks prior to the sale.
The taxpayer may redeem the property any time prior to the filing of an entry confirming the sale. Payoff must be made in full for all taxes, assessments, penalties, interest, fees and court costs in order to redeem the property, dismiss the complaint and/or cancel a sheriff’s sale should the foreclosure action have preceded that far. Payoff must be received by certified funds.
