(A) When execution is levied upon lands and tenements, the sheriff shall call an inquest of three disinterested freeholders, who are residents of, and real property owners in, the county where the lands taken in execution are situated, who shall appraise the property so levied upon, upon actual view.

(B) If the property to be appraised is residential property, the freeholders selected by the sheriff shall return to the sheriff an estimate of the value of the property in money within twenty-one calendar days of the issuance of the order of appraisal by the clerk of the court.

If the court has ordered or the clerk of the court has issued an order for a private selling officer to advertise and sell the appraised property, the freeholders selected by the sheriff shall also deliver a copy of their appraisal to the private selling officer contemporaneously with their delivery of their appraisal to the sheriff.

(C) If the freeholders selected by the sheriff under division (B) of this section do not deliver their appraisal within twenty-one calendar days of the issuance of the order of appraisal by the clerk of the court as required by division (B) of this section, then all of the following shall occur:

(1) The cost of the appraisal by the freeholders shall not be payable to the freeholders or taxed as costs in the case.

(2) The appraised value of the property shall be the most recent appraised value of the property as shown on the records of the county auditor, unless, for good cause shown, the court authorizes a separate appraisal of the property.

(3) The advertisement and sale of the property shall proceed immediately in accordance with the order of advertisement and sale issued by the clerk of the court.

If a separate appraisal of the property is obtained, the cost of the appraisal shall be included as an expense of the sale pursuant to division (D) of section 2329.152 of the Revised Code.

(D) If the property to be appraised is commercial property, the freeholders selected by the sheriff shall return to the sheriff an estimate of the value of the property in money in accordance with the timing or other requirements, if any, that may be established for the sale.

(E) The municipal corporation or township in which the real property is situated may inspect prior to the judicial sale any structures located on lands subject to a writ of execution.
