- note PROBED FROM THE DATA, because the server publishes no `editingInfo`. A max-of-Sale_Date statistic over all 73,839 rows returns 2025-07-25 and a count of rows transferring after that date returns zero — the same two numbers #1436 recorded, unchanged a year later. EVERY NEGATIVE IN THIS FILE IS THEREFORE A STATEMENT ABOUT JULY 2025, not about the pull date. A conveyance recorded after 2025-07-25 is invisible here and its absence means nothing.

- note NEVER PRESENT $6,921,460 AS WHAT THE ASSEMBLY COST. The CAMA keeps only the last conveyance per parcel, and the two 2025-04-09 consolidations that carry 519 of the 775 acres are $0 quitclaims which erased eleven predecessor tracts' purchase prices. The sum is a floor on a fraction. The register's own press figure — >$800M investment — is a different quantity again (land plus buildings plus equipment) and the two must never be compared.

- note THE REGISTER CARRIES "Deeds recorded from 2023-09-05" AND THE CAMA DOES NOT CORROBORATE IT. The earliest surviving conveyance here is 2023-11-14. That is not a contradiction: a September 2023 deed into a tract later folded into the 2025-04-09 consolidation would have been overwritten. The 2023-09-05 date stays [reference] and the discrepancy is recorded rather than reconciled, because the recorder's chronological index is the only thing that can settle it.

- finding
- tag [verified]
- statement Liames LLC applied to rezone thirteen parcels of which five, carrying 10.45 of the 31.82 acres, stood in three other names in the county's parcel layer — a family partnership with three of them, an apartment company, and an owner-occupier.
- and_the_caveat AS OF ~2025-07-25, WHICH IS ELEVEN MONTHS BEFORE THE APPLICATION WAS DOCKETED. Applicant's counsel told the trustees the parcels are "owned by Liames, LLC" and that the structures on them "have been razed." Two readings survive and NEITHER is adopted: (a) the five transferred after the CAMA snapshot, which is entirely ordinary and would make counsel's statement correct; (b) the application ran over land Liames did not hold of record, which R.C. 519.12 permits. This corpus previously carried the five as unnamed and the gap as "the CAMA layer's ~2025-07 vintage, not a research gap"; that reading survives, and the five are now named. The Wood County Recorder's chronological index closes it. [open]
- name_collision_warning P&J THAYER FAMILY LTD and P&J THAYER FAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP are served as two distinct `Deeded_Name` strings for what is almost certainly one partnership; they are carried separately because the layer serves them separately. Separately, #1436 flagged a LIMES family (Dale Limes LLC, Limes Real Estate Holdings LLC) holding several hundred acres on Devils Hole Road — one letter from LIAMES. Add to that list the Middleton Township FISCAL OFFICER, whose name is Laurie L. Limes and who signs every set of minutes in this collection. Three same-sounding names in one township record; no relationship among them is asserted, and the reason to write this down is that a name-match search WILL conflate them.

limitations
- NO RECORDER INSTRUMENT WAS READ. Every row here is the auditor's transfer record, not a deed. Grantors, recorder instrument numbers, deed book/page and the full chronological chain are all [open]. The Wood County Recorder publishes an electronic index from 1980 (Fidlar AVA, https://ohwood.fidlar.com/OHWood/AvaWeb/); it is an Angular single-page application that serves no server-rendered search and exposes no discoverable API path, so it was NOT retrievable by script. That is a per-source negative, not an absence — see record-watch.yaml → WOOD-COUNTY-RECORDER.
- THE CAMA KEEPS ONLY THE LAST CONVEYANCE PER PARCEL. Everything before it is gone from this source by construction. The two consolidations erased eleven tracts' prices.
- THE LAYER'S VINTAGE IS ~2025-07-25 and has not advanced in a year. Nothing here is a statement about 2026.
- LIAMES, LLC'S OWN REGISTRATION IS [open]. The Ohio Secretary of State business search returns HTTP 403 to automated retrieval (re-probed 2026-08-05), so the entity's organizers, agent and formation date are unread. The register's caution stands: a tax-billing address at 1 META WAY is not ownership of the LLC, and the Meta attribution rests on Meta's own 2025-04-09 announcement and its 2026-01-07 letter to the trustees, not on a corporate filing.
