However, the purchaser at the second sale is still subject to the costs, allowances, and real property taxes.

Checks can be made payable to the Geauga County Sheriff or to yourself and endorsed over to the Sheriff if you are the successful bidder. A judgment creditor is not required to make a sales deposit.
3. Deeds are issued after the confirmation of sale, when the balance of the purchase price is received by the Sheriff’s Office.
