Re: Ordinance 72 -11 - Accepting the Dedication of Reserve A,
Waterford Village, Phase 4, from the Franklin County Sheriff's Deed
on Order of Sale
Background
This Ordinance authorizes the City of Dublin to accept the dedication of Reserve A in Phase 4 of
Waterford Village from the Franklin County Sheriffs Deed on Order of Sale into the City's Land
Bank.
In November of 2008, City Council approved adoption of Ordinance 81 -08, a Land Bank Program
according to the provisions of Chapter 5722 of the Ohio Revised Code (2008 legislation is
attached for reference). The legislation allows the City to request the County Treasurer to
remove certain properties from its list of tax lien (foreclosure) certificate sales when such
properties may be necessary for the City's economic development projects or are needed for
health and safety purposes. The City benefits from adoption of Chapter 5722 by having an
approved process for the County to transfer clear title to the City's Land Bank.
At the time of adoption of Ordinance 81 -08, staff presented properties that were requested to be
removed from the County Treasurer's tax lien sale. One of these properties is located on
Monsarrat Drive and the parcel was originally platted in 1978 as Reserve A in Waterford Village,
Phase 4. The parcel connects to an adjacent City -owned Reserve on Pebble Creek Drive to form
an access -way for the fire department. The Reserve on Monsarrat Drive was never transferred
into the City's name and has remained in the Developer's name, the Dublin Land Company, which
is now defunct. Although the two Reserves are currently functioning properly, obtaining title to
the property ensures the property is well maintained by the City for the public health and safety
of the community.
The Reserve transferred to the City on November 1, 2011. The City will apply for tax exemption
on the Reserve in January 2012 as allowed by the Ohio Revised Code.
Staff regularly reviews Franklin County's list of tax lien certificate sales and monitors for parcels
that may be of interest to the City.

9, 2012.

Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 81 -08, Authorizing the Adoption of a Land Reutilization Program
and Implementation of the Provisions of Chapter 5722 of the Ohio Revised Code.
Background
In September, the City received notification from the Franklin County Treasurer's Office of its annual
delinquent tax lien sale on parcels in the County's portfolio (see letter attached). When a property owner has
delinquent real estate taxes from the spring of the prior year and certain legal provisions are met, a tax lien on
the property is issued by the County Treasurer and sold at a foreclosure auction as a tax lien certificate. The
goal of the tax lien certificate sale is to collect delinquent property taxes owed to the County's school
districts, agencies and local governments. Property owners are given sufficient notice prior to this action.
Once the tax lien certificates are sold to an investor, the investor (lienholder) may foreclose on the property
after one year if the taxes, interest and other penalties are not paid when due.
As a courtesy, the County notified the City of the properties included in this year's tax lien certificate sale.
Listed are public accessways on Monsarrat Drive and Beckley Lane. The Department of Finance asked the
County Treasurer's Office to exclude both parcels from the tax lien sale. The County Treasurer's Office
complied with our request and recommended the City adopt the provisions in Chapter 5722 of the Ohio
Revised Code.
• Monsarrat Drive Parcel
This parcel was originally platted in 1978 as Reserve A in Waterford Village Phase 4. This parcel connects
to another Reserve on Pebble Creek Drive to form a fire department access between the streets. The Pebble
Creek Drive Reserve was dedicated to the City; however, the Monsarrat Drive Reserve was held in the name
of the developer, the Dublin Land Company. (See information attached.)
Beckley Lane Parcel
This parcel was originally platted in 1978 as Reserve B in Waterford Village Phase S. It appears to have
been planned as a walkway or accessway from Beckley Lane to St. Andrews. The parcel was not recorded
correctly in 1978, and has now been "consumed" by the adjacent property owners with fencing and
landscape. (See information attached)
Chapter 5722 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC)
Chapter 5722 permits municipalities to adopt land reutilization programs and to gain clear title to
unproductive tax delinquent properties. These properties may be held and managed by the City in its land
inventory for their intended public purpose or marketed and sold to bring the properties back to a tax revenue
producing use. The City benefits from adoption of Chapter 5722 by having a streamlined process for the
County to transfer land to the City and expedite obtaining clear title. All lands acquired and held by the City
pursuant to Chapter 5722 will be deemed real property used for public purpose and will be exempt from
taxation.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance at the second readingipublic hearing on November 17, 2008.

RE: Tax Lien Listing for Your Community
Dear Ms. Grigsby:
RECEIVED
FINANCE DEPT
The 2008 Tax Lien Certificate Sale for Franklin Comity is scheduled for November 10. 2008:
Attached is the listing of properties in your community that have been identified as eligible to sell
and are currently included in our lien sale portfolio.
A critical element of this program is ensuring that only appropriate properties are involved in
the tax lien certificate sale. Therefore. to ensure that this sale does not interfere with any of your
economic development projects; I ask that you or your economic development staff review the
encloscd list of lien properties in your community. If there are any properties that you or your staff
beiieves may not be appropriate for the tax lien sale. please notify this office in writing and on your
entity's letterhead. You should identify the property and briefly explain the circumstances that
warrant the exclusion of a property from the sale. Upon receipt of your written request, my staff will
review and if appropriate, remove the property from the tax lien sale.
All responses should be sent to the Treasurer's office b September 29, 2008 Those
responses received after September 29, 2008 may result in the property not being withdrawn from the
sale portfolio. Obviously, this program is designed to collect much needed revenue for important
community services. However, I want to use this tool in a way that best serves all the interests of the
community. Your assistance can help ensure that those other interests are considered.
Should you have questions about the list or the impact of the tax lien on a particular property,
please contact Shelly Gelbaum, Assistant Supervisor at 462 -5229 or via email at
aiitgelbau@franklincountyohio.gov.
Sincere)
