Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 5309.60, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5309.60.
A tax deed of registered land, or an interest therein, issued in pursuance of any
sale for a tax, assessment, or other imposition, shall have only the effect of an
agreement for the transfer of the title upon the register. Before any person dealing with such land is affected by such tax deed such deed
must be filed in the county recorder's office and a memorial of such filing be made
by the recorder on the registered certificate of title for such land. No registration of title under such tax deed shall be made, or certificate of title
issued thereon, unless the tax deed is filed within sixty days after its date, or
in any case except upon the order of the probate court or the court of common pleas,
on application therefor by petition to which all persons in interest shall be made
parties and brought before the court. Any person interested in the land may show, as cause why such certificate shall
not issue, any fact that might be shown at law or in equity on his behalf to set aside
such tax deed. The party named in the tax deed must show affirmatively that the law entitling him
to a deed has been strictly complied with. In such suit the court may decree such deed and tax sale under which the same was
issued to be invalid for the purposes of entitling the purchaser or grantee to a transfer
of the title to said land and order the same to be canceled upon the payment by any
party in interest to said purchaser or grantee of the amount paid by him on such tax
sale and subsequently as taxes on the property, together with interest on all such
sums.
