There are blighted properties in all areas of Stark County that are not producing any tax revenue for our Schools and Subdivisions. They have been there for many years, and the Treasurer's office has been trying to get them back on the tax records. There are properties where the amount of delinquent tax owed is five times or more than the property is worth. This includes RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND VACANT LAND. The Stark County Treasurer's office is building a database to try to get these blighted properties back on the tax records, and into the hands of Stark County citizens who want to purchase one of these parcels. These properties can be used for several productive uses.
If there is a blighted property in your neighborhood, please send us a photo and let our office know where it is. We might put the blighted property on our website or provide you with information on how you could possibly purchase it with the help of your City or Subdivision. Our goal is to get these properties back on the tax records and clean up our neighborhoods. Please fill the form below or for more information, contact us at (330) 451-7814.
Note:
You may send photos and information via U.S. mail to the Treasurer's Office at the address below, or via email adding photo(s) as an attachment to [email protected]. Be certain to identify the property properly by including the address with the photo(s).

Database
COMING SOON is a database of tax-delinquent properties. We are working to find the owners of these properties, so we can try to rectify the situation with a solution that benefits the owners, the county and the residents in the neighborhoods.
Vacant Lots
Vacant lots, which are tax delinquent, may be eligible for transfer to governmental agencies and charitable corporations such as churches or neighborhood organizations and the like. The proceedings for these transfers are initiated by the Treasurer and conducted before the Stark County Board of Revision.
