How do tax deed sales work in Miami-Dade County?

Florida uses a tax certificate system. When property taxes go unpaid, the county sells tax certificates at auction. After 2 years, certificate holders can apply for a tax deed. The property is then auctioned at a tax deed sale where the opening bid includes all back taxes, costs, and fees.

Is heir property common in Miami-Dade?
