2026 Forfeited Land Sale Publication/Advertising

Cuyahoga County, Ohio is procuring publication and advertising services for its 2026 Forfeited Land Sale, a legal notice requirement for the public sale of tax-forfeited real property. The county seeks a newspaper of general circulation within Cuyahoga County to publish two consecutive weekly advertisements scheduled tentatively for late July and early August 2026. The advertisements must list an estimated 1,200 tax-forfeited parcels identified by parcel number, case number, owner name, and opening bid in 6-point font, and must include the statutory notice regarding delinquent land sale procedures under Ohio Revised Code sections 5721.03, 5721.06, and 5723.05. The selected vendor must provide proof of publication along with invoices and copies of each publication as deliverables. The county reserves the right to make modifications to the advertisement content until noon on the Fridays of July 18, 2026, and July 25, 2026, immediately preceding each scheduled publication date. The deadline for submission of bids or proposals is April 27, 2026, matching the posted date.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent contractor information or existing technology integration requirements are identified in the available documentation. Similarly, the specifications do not include an award value, budget range, or contract duration, leaving these financial parameters undefined in the public notice. Bidders should note that the property sale itself will occur August 31 through September 4, 2026, at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland, with prospective purchasers required to have no tax delinquencies anywhere in Ohio to be eligible to bid on parcels.
