How Tax Sales Operate in Florida
Under Fla. Stat. § 197.102 et seq., delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Lien & Tax Deed and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via RealAuction or in person by the County Tax Collector & Clerk of the Court. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (Lands Available for Taxes (Clerk))
In Florida, unsold properties or tax lien certificates become available as Lands Available for Taxes (Clerk). Buyers can purchase these parcels directly over-the-counter without attending an open outcry auction.
