A title company can pay off the balance of the purchase price for the buyer, as long as they present a title company check payable to the SUMMIT COUNTY SHERIFF.  However, once a deed is paid for and has been conveyed, transferred and recorded, Sheriff’s Office staff will contact the buyer to pick up the deed.  At that time, if the buyer wants his/her title company to pick up the deed, the buyer will need to provide authorization to the Sheriff’s Office of who will be picking up their deed.
