How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Florida
Florida is a tax-certificate state with a follow-on tax-deed sale. When property taxes go unpaid, the county tax collector holds an annual tax-certificate auction (typically online, on or before June 1) where investors bid down the interest rate they're willing to accept. The certificate buyer pays the delinquent tax and is repaid by the property owner — at the bid-down rate — when the owner redeems. After two years, if still unredeemed, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed, which triggers a separate public auction of the property itself.
Bidding & Auctions
Tax-certificate auctions in most Florida counties are conducted online (Lien Hub, Realauction, or county-run platforms). Bidding starts at 18% interest and bidders compete by accepting lower rates — sometimes down to 0.25% on attractive parcels. A deposit is required to register. Tax-deed auctions, which happen later if a certificate is not redeemed, are also typically online and use ascending-bid format starting at the certificate cost plus accumulated interest, application fees, and statutory minimums.
Redemption & Penalties
A property owner can redeem at any time before a tax deed is issued by paying the certificate face value plus the bid-down interest rate. The 18% statutory cap means even at low bid rates, redemption returns at least 5% (the statutory minimum return). After 2 years, the certificate holder may force a tax deed sale; if no one outbids the certificate holder at that sale, they receive the deed. If outbid, they collect the certificate amount plus interest from auction proceeds.
See Florida Statutes, Chapter 197. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

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.
