Ohio County To Squeeze Extra $400 From Lenders Filing Foreclosures

In Pomeroy, Ohio, The Daily Sentinel reports:

• Financial institutions filing foreclosure actions in Common Pleas Court will be required to pay an additional $400 above and beyond court costs, beginning July 1, to address an increase in the foreclosures handled by the court.
