Ohio law on redeeming lands sold for taxes amendment
The act permits any person entitled to redeem lands or town lots sold for taxes to tender the amount due to the purchaser or their attorney at any time, instead of depositing with the court clerk. If the purchase party rejects payment, the owner may apply to the court for redemption. The act also applies to city or town sales and clarifies costs. A Tampa Bay report describes an incident where 100 Indian warriors led by Nehe Stoco Matta seized Indian prisoners at Tampa, refused to treat, and planned to defend their territory.
