Liens that survive

A Florida tax deed extinguishes most private mortgages and liens, but does not clear governmental liens (code enforcement, municipal liens) or IRS liens (120-day federal redemption). Run a municipal/code-enforcement lien search before bidding.

Quiet title

Under Fla. Stat. §95.192, continuous ownership and tax payment for 4+ years after the deed often supports marketable title without suit. For faster insurable title, a quiet title action with final judgment is standard. Clerk notes tax deeds are generally not marketable title.

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.
