Common situations in Franklin County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Estates are handled by the Franklin County Probate Court. A house can pass by certificate of transfer to the heirs or be sold by the appointed executor or administrator.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Foreclosures are filed in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, and the Franklin County Sheriff sells foreclosed houses at online auction. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Franklin County Treasurer collects property taxes and sells tax lien certificates on delinquent parcels; certificate holders can foreclose later.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Columbus's code enforcement officers cite owners for exterior, interior and nuisance violations; unresolved cases can be sent to the Environmental Division of the Franklin County Municipal Court.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Columbus evictions are filed in the Franklin County Municipal Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Columbus: questions
Can I sell a Columbus double with tenants in both units?
Yes. Investors buy occupied doubles in Franklin County all the time. The leases and security deposits transfer to the buyer at closing.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Columbus?
Ohio sales close through a title company, which pays off the mortgage, the county taxes and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Franklin County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
