About this case

Three former homeowners lead a class action against Cuyahoga County, alleging that the county unconstitutionally retained surplus equity when it obtained title to homes valued above the owners’ property-tax debts after failed auctions. The plaintiffs lost in the trial court and the Eighth District Court of Appeals, and the Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear the challenge; the litigation is ongoing.
