Working a Franklin County pre-foreclosure
Catch the suit when it is served
12 cases in Franklin County first published a notice this week. An alert brings each new one to you the morning after it runs, months before any sale could be set.
Check the property and the equity
Look the parcel up in the county's property records, by parcel ID, address or legal description. Compare what is owed, where you can tell, with what the home would sell for. Equity is what gives the owner choices.
Reach the owner, plainly and kindly
The owner can still sell, reinstate, refinance, short-sell or hand back the deed in lieu. Write a short letter to the mailing address on the record; say who you are and what you can offer, and never pressure.
Know the clock
1 owner here must answer the suit within a week. An answer is not a sale: a judicial foreclosure takes months, and the owner keeps the title until a sale is held.
The terms on a record, defined: the pre-foreclosure glossary. Not legal advice; follow your state’s rules on contacting homeowners in foreclosure.

About Franklin County pre-foreclosures and lis pendens
How many pre-foreclosures are filed in Franklin County?
28 foreclosure cases in Franklin County, Ohio first published a notice in the last 30 days, and 113 in the last 90. We hold 113 case records from the county in all, each one a suit filed before any sale has been set. That makes it the busiest of the 31 Ohio counties we cover.
How do I find Franklin County lis pendens and pre-foreclosure filings?
Foreclosure suits in Franklin County are filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio. When a lender sues, it records a lis pendens in the county's official records, and an owner who cannot be served in person is served by a published notice of action. Each case here is built from those published notices: the case number, the lender, the owners named and their last known addresses, and the property. Search the county by owner, lender, street or case number; the court file itself is kept by the clerk.
Are Franklin County pre-foreclosures mostly mortgage foreclosures?
Mostly: 50% of the Franklin County cases we hold are mortgage foreclosures brought by a lender or servicer, and 56 cases are an association's or other lien foreclosure. Each record says which.
How long does a Franklin County owner have to respond?
Each record carries the date the notice gives the owner to answer, where it prints one. 1 owner in Franklin County has that date in the next 7 days. The date to answer does not set a sale: a judicial foreclosure goes on to a judgment first, and only then can a sale be set.
How many Franklin County cases name a deceased owner?
40 cases in Franklin County name the unknown heirs or the estate of an owner who has died. Those are often the most open to a sale: the heirs may not want the house or the debt, and they decide together, sometimes through a probate court.
Do Franklin County records include the owner's mailing address and the property address?
64% of Franklin County cases give at least one owner's last known mailing address, and 100% print the property's street address; the rest describe the land by its legal description, which the record keeps with the parcel ID where printed. Both open with an account, and a field the notice did not print is left out rather than guessed.
