What Newark homeowners should know
Newark is the seat of Licking County, about 40 miles east of downtown Columbus, and it’s a much older city than most of the Columbus suburbs, founded in 1802 with growth tied to the Ohio and Erie Canal and later the railroads. Its downtown around Courthouse Square, including the Hudson Avenue Historic District, holds housing that predates almost everything in the Columbus metro, and the city’s overall housing stock skews older and more affordable than the Franklin County suburbs. Licking County has become one of the fastest-changing parts of the Columbus region because of Intel’s chip manufacturing project underway in nearby New Albany, and the growth and construction traffic that project has brought has started to push up land values and property tax bills even in Newark’s older, established neighborhoods, well outside the immediate project site.

Why Newark owners sell as-is
One of the oldest housing stocks in the Columbus metro
Newark was founded in 1802 and grew through the canal and railroad eras, well before most of the Columbus suburbs existed. That means a larger share of the city’s homes are a century or more old, with the kind of foundation, roof, plumbing and electrical issues that come with that age, especially in and around the downtown and historic districts.
Intel-driven growth pushing up values and taxes
Intel’s chip manufacturing project in New Albany, just to the west in Licking County, has brought a wave of construction workers, new housing demand and infrastructure spending to the county. That growth has started to lift home values and property tax bills across Licking County, including in Newark’s older neighborhoods that aren’t directly part of the project.
Delinquent taxes on older, lower-value homes
Newark’s housing stock includes a meaningful number of older, lower-value homes, and on a fixed or limited income it’s easy for property taxes to fall behind. Unpaid Licking County property taxes accrue penalty and interest and can eventually lead to a county tax foreclosure action, which is a separate and often faster process than a mortgage foreclosure.

Licking County
Newark is the county seat of Licking County, and the Licking County Probate Court, located in Newark, handles wills, estates and guardianships for the county. Ohio foreclosures are judicial, so after a lender wins a court judgment, the Licking County Sheriff’s Office conducts the public sale; delinquent property taxes accrue penalty and interest and can lead to a separate county tax foreclosure action rather than a tax lien certificate sale.

Selling a house for cash in Newark
Is Newark’s housing older than the rest of the Columbus area?
Yes. Newark was founded in 1802, decades before most Columbus suburbs existed, and its downtown and historic districts, including Hudson Avenue, have some of the oldest housing stock in the metro. Homes in and around the historic core more often need foundation, roof or systems work than newer construction farther out.
Is Intel’s project in New Albany affecting home values in Newark?
It’s having a ripple effect. Intel’s chip manufacturing project sits just west of Newark in Licking County, and the construction activity, new jobs and housing demand tied to it have pushed up land values and property taxes across the county, including in Newark’s older neighborhoods that aren’t part of the project itself.
What happens if I fall behind on property taxes on a Newark house?
Unpaid property taxes in Licking County accrue penalty and interest, and if they stay delinquent long enough, the county can pursue a tax foreclosure action to collect, separate from a mortgage foreclosure. Selling before it gets to that point, even as-is, usually preserves more of your equity than letting the county foreclosure process run its course.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Newark?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
