OH HB273

Modifies property tax foreclosure notice and delinquent property tax list publication requirements to allow second publication on county or court websites as an alternative to newspaper publication.

Delinquent tax lists must be published twice within 60 days of delivery to county treasurer, with first publication in a newspaper and second publication either in a newspaper or on an approved county website.

Website publications must remain online for two weeks after posting and identify the publication date; lists must be removed from websites two weeks after publication.

Allows foreclosure notices to be published once weekly for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper, or once in a newspaper with subsequent notices beginning one week later on a county or court website, continuing until one year after judgment.

Service by publication is considered complete either three weeks after first newspaper publication or two weeks after notice is posted on the selected website, allowing prosecuting attorneys to serve defendants through digital publication methods.
