There's Money From Your Property Sale That Nobody Has Told You About — Until Now.

If your property was sold at a tax foreclosure Sheriff's Sale in Cuyahoga County, there may be funds legally owed to you sitting with the county right now.

Most former property owners or heirs never claim it — because they didn't know it existed, or because the process felt too overwhelming to tackle alone.

That money has a deadline. After that window closes, it's gone forever.

Here's What's Happening (And Why It Matters to You)

When a property sells at a tax foreclosure Sheriff's Sale for more than what was owed in taxes, fees, and other costs — that difference is called excess proceeds.

Under Ohio law, that money doesn't belong to the county. It belongs to you.

But it doesn't come to you automatically. Someone has to file the right documents with the court, meet every legal deadline, and follow up with the county until a check is cut. Most people never do this — because no one told them they could.

Recently, we helped a Cleveland homeowner recover $14,188.10 from their tax sale. They almost didn't call.

What Cuyahoga Tax Care Does For You

My name is Christopher Bakos. I've worked in this community for over 26 years with tax foreclosures. I'm not an out-of-state company sending form letters. I'm local, and I've helped hundreds of Cuyahoga County property owners recover money they were legally owed.

Here's how the process works:

You reach out — free, no obligation

Call, email, or fill out the form below. Tell us your name, the property address, and the Assistance Code that was provided in the letter you may have received. That's all we need to get started.

I tell you what's there and what I can do

I pull the records, review your case, and explain in plain language whether funds may be available and how we can pursue them.

I handle everything — you wait for your check

Our attorney files all the court documents, meets every deadline, and follows up with the county until your funds are released. You don't set foot in a courthouse. You don't decode legal paperwork. We take care of all of it.

You pay nothing unless I recover your money. If nothing is recovered, you owe me nothing.

Why People Wait — And Why That's a Mistake

Losing a property is hard. We understand that. And after something like that, the last thing you want is another confusing process.

But here's the truth: this money is already yours under Ohio law. The only question is whether you claim it before the deadline — or let the county keep it.

Ohio law is strict. Once the filing window closes, the funds are forfeited. No extensions. No appeals. No second chances.

One phone call is all it takes to find out where you stand.

A Few Things You're Probably Wondering

Does every Sheriff's Sale have money left over?

No — but if you received a letter from us, it’s likely that you have funds waiting for you. We'll tell you straight away whether there's anything to pursue in your case.

Am I automatically entitled to the funds?

Not automatically — entitlement depends on the specific case and the court's determination. That's why it helps to have someone who knows this process working on your behalf.

What do I need to get started?

The property address and the Assistance Code in the letter you received.

What does it cost?

Nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover your funds. If we don't, you owe us nothing.

Don't Let the Deadline Pass
