IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE OF LIENS AND FORFEITURE OF PROPERTY FOR DELINQUENT LAND TAXES, BY ACTION IN REM BY THE COUNTY TREASURER OF GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO. Public notice is hereby given that on the 21st day of November, 2025, Steve McGhee, the County Treasurer of Gallia County, Ohio, filed a complaint in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County, Ohio at Gallipolis, for the foreclosure of liens and forfeiture of property for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against certain real property situated in such county, as described fully in that complaint. The object of the action is to obtain from the court a judgment foreclosing the tax liens against such real estate, forfeiting the property to the state, and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of the tax liens on it. Such action is brought against the real property only and no personal judgement shall be entered in it. However, if pursuant to the action, the property is sold for an amount that is less than the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against it, the Court, in a separate order, may enter a deficiency judgement against the owner of record of a parcel for the amount of the difference. The permanent parcel number of each parcel included in such action; the full street address of the parcel, if available; a description of the parcel as set forth in the associated delinquent vacant land tax certificate or master list of delinquent vacant tracts; a statement of the amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel; the name and address of the last known owner of the parcel as they appear on the general tax list; and the names and addresses of each lienholder and other person with an interest in the parcel identified in a statutorily required title search relating to the parcel; all as more fully set forth in the complaint, are as follows: 25 DT 35 LAST KNOWN OWNER: Arius Hurt and Martha Ann Hurt LIEN HOLDERS/ OTHER PERSONS WITH AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY: Unknown Heirs, Next of Kin, Devisees, Legatees, Executors and/or Administrators of Arius Hurt, deceased; Unknown Heirs, Next of Kin, Devisees, Legatees, Executors and/or Administrators of Martha Ann Hurt, deceased; Sharon Hurt; Bryan Hurt, a/k/a Brian Hurt; Household Realty Corporation; State of Ohio, Department of Taxation; State of Ohio, Department of Medicaid STREET ADDRESS: 79 Spruce Street, Gallipolis, OH 45631 PARCEL NUMBER: 007-018-022-00 DESCRIPTION: L 282 B 37 NORTHWEST 1/2; V266, P507 AMOUNT OF TAXES UNPAID: $695.00 Any person owning or claiming any right, title, or interest in, or lien upon, any parcel of real property above listed may file an answer in such action setting forth the nature and amount of interest owned or claimed and any defense or objection to the foreclosure and forfeiture. Such answer shall be filed in the office of the undersigned Clerk of the Court, and a copy of the answer shall be served on the Prosecuting Attorney, on or before 28 days after the date of final publication of this notice. If no answer is filed with respect to a parcel listed in the complaint, on or before the date specified as the last day for filing an answer, a judgement of foreclosure and forfeiture will be taken by default as to that parcel. Any parcel as to which a foreclosure and forfeiture is taken by default shall be sold for the satisfaction of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest, and the costs incurred in the foreclosure and forfeiture proceeding, which are due and unpaid. At any time prior to the filing of any entry of confirmation of sale, any owner or lienholder of, or other person with an interest in, a parcel listed in the complaint may redeem the parcel by tendering to the Treasurer the amount of taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel, together with all cost incurred in the proceeding instituted against the parcel under Section 5721.18(B) of the Ohio Revised Code. Upon the filing of any entry of confirmation of sale, there shall be no further equity of redemption. After the filing of any such entry, any person claiming any right, title, or interest in, or lien upon, any parcel shall be forever barred and foreclosed of any such right, title, or interest in, lien upon, and any equity of redemption in, such parcel.
