These are Monroe County tax-lien certificates that drew no bid at the tax sale, so the county kept them. You buy the certificate over the counter, not the property, and the owner can still redeem. Underwrite the parcel anyway, as if you might end up owning it.
The full Kentucky rules for county-held property, with the statute citations, are on the Kentucky over-the-counter page. See also this county's tax-sale overview.
