County Property Auctions
http://www.govdeals.com/
Periodically, because of a court order, unclaimed property or obsolete property, materials and equipment, the Sheriff’s Office will hold a public auction to dispose of the items. These sales are open to the public and sold at an open oral auction. Occasionally, as the Ohio Revised Code permits, sealed bids may be taken. The terms of each individual sale will be advertised here and in the Lima News, as well as be posted at the door to the courthouse. Items can range from motor vehicles to computers to kitchen equipment to lawn ornaments to sporting goods, etc. Other items are listed on www.govdeals.com as appropriate. return to top
