§ 5721.381.
(A) At any time prior to payment to the county treasurer by a certificate holder to initiate
foreclosure proceedings under division (B) of section 5721.37 of the Revised Code , the owner of record of the certificate parcel or any other person entitled to redeem
that parcel may pay the county treasurer the certificate redemption price for the
tax certificate with the oldest lien against the parcel. Such a payment cancels that lien and voids the certificate. Upon receipt of the payment, the county treasurer shall make an entry to that effect
in the tax certificate register, shall deposit the payment to the credit of the tax
certificate redemption fund, and shall notify the certificate holder by ordinary first
class or certified mail or by binary means that the lien has been canceled and that
payment on the certificate is forthcoming. The treasurer shall pay the holder of that certificate promptly. (B) A person who makes a payment to the county treasurer under division (A) of this section
for the tax certificate with the oldest lien may make additional payments under that
division for other tax certificates related to the parcel, in priority order based
on the earliest date of attachment of the liens. (C) A property owner or other person shall make, and the county treasurer shall accept
and apply, payments under this section only in priority order based on the earliest
date of attachment of the liens.
