Florida Tax Sale Questions
When does Florida hold its tax certificate sale?▾
Florida tax-certificate sales are held annually on or before June 1 in each county. Most counties conduct the sale online over a 1-2 week window in late May or early June.
What's the difference between a tax certificate and a tax deed in Florida?▾
A tax certificate is a lien on the property — you earn interest until the owner redeems. A tax deed transfers ownership of the property itself. Florida investors must hold a certificate at least 2 years before they can apply for a tax deed sale.
What return can I expect on a Florida tax certificate?▾
Bidding starts at 18% and is bid down. Florida law guarantees a 5% minimum return at redemption, regardless of how low the winning bid was — except for certificates bid at 0%, which earn no interest but are still recovered at face value.
How do I find Florida tax deed properties going to auction?▾
Each county tax collector maintains a list of properties scheduled for tax deed sale, typically published 30 days before the auction. Properties have already been through 2+ years of unpaid certificates, making them well-aged distress.
