Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 2737.13, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2737.13.
After the levying officer takes possession of property pursuant to an order of possession,
and until the property is delivered to the movant, he shall keep the property in a
secure place. If removal of the property from the address where it is detained would be unreasonably
expensive, the levying officer may take possession by conspicuously placing a notice
of possession on the property. The court may order a sale of the property if, because of its perishable nature
or the existence of circumstances that would diminish its value, a sale would be for
the benefit of the parties. The sale may be made in the manner and on the terms the court directs. The proceeds of the sale shall be deposited with the court until the entry of final
judgment or dismissal of the action, which entry shall include an order for delivery
of the proceeds of the sale to the successful party. The costs to the levying officer of taking possession, storing, or selling the property
shall be taxed as costs in the action.
