Liens that survive

Florida tax deed extinguishes most private mortgages and liens but does not clear governmental/code-enforcement liens or IRS liens (120-day federal redemption). Mobile homes are not included on the tax deed. Independent title and municipal lien search essential.

Quiet title

Often used before resale or financing even after tax deed; title insurers frequently require additional clearing steps beyond the Clerk’s deed.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

Assessed $4,952 ÷ 0.85 assessment ratio. Florida assesses at just value, but Save Our Homes / Amendment 1 caps compress assessed below market on long-held homesteads.

Quiet title (required)assumed Midpoint of the typical FL range ($1,800–$5,000, ~5 months).: −$3,400
Deed recording and transferassumed Typical FL recording and deed issuance cost.: −$500
Holding costs (7 months)assumed Taxes, insurance, and securing the property at ~$75/month.: −$525
Surviving liensassumed Assumed $0 — not verified. Municipal code-enforcement liens, special assessments, and federal tax liens can survive the sale.: −$0
Target profit (30% of ARV): −$1,748
Maximum bid: -$813

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. Governmental liens (municipal code enforcement, some special assessments) can survive a Florida tax deed — check the specific municipality.
Costs exceed what the property can support at your target margin. There is no bid at which this clears.
