Broward County Tax Sale Process
Florida is a tax lien state. Broward County sells tax certificates annually on delinquent properties. Bidding starts at 18% interest and investors bid the rate down. Certificates that receive no bids are struck off to the county at 18%. After 2 years from April 1 of the year of issuance, certificate holders can apply for a tax deed.
