Florida tax sales
hybrid state
Florida uses a two-stage system. Each county tax collector first sells tax certificates (liens) on delinquent real estate taxes, with bidders competing by bidding the interest rate down from a statutory maximum of 18 percent per year; the sale must be held on or before June 1 (or the 60th day after delinquency, whichever is later) and may be run electronically. If the taxes are not redeemed, a certificate holder may apply for a tax deed once two years have passed since April 1 of the year the certificate was issued. The property is then sold at a public tax deed auction conducted by the clerk of the circuit court (in some counties another designated office), which may be held online instead of by public outcry, with a nonrefundable deposit of 5 percent of the bid or $200, whichever is greater.

Florida tax sale questions
Does Florida sell tax liens or tax deeds?
Florida uses a two-stage system. Each county tax collector first sells tax certificates (liens) on delinquent real estate taxes, with bidders competing by bidding the interest rate down from a statutory maximum of 18 percent per year; the sale must be held on or before June 1 (or the 60th day after delinquency, whichever is later) and may be run electronically. If the taxes are not redeemed, a certificate holder may apply for a tax deed once two years have passed since April 1 of the year the certificate was issued. The property is then sold at a public tax deed auction conducted by the clerk of the circuit court (in some counties another designated office), which may be held online instead of by public outcry, with a nonrefundable deposit of 5 percent of the bid or $200, whichever is greater.
When is the next tax sale in Florida?
The next dated sale we have is in Nassau County on Tue, Nov 3, 2026: Tax deed sale (online). Counties add and cancel sales often, so confirm on the county's page before you plan around it.
Are Florida tax sales online or in person?
Of the 48 places we track, 31 sell online, 15 in person, 1 both online and in person and 1 hasn't said. Each county page shows the format and the auction site, if there is one.

Each date is read from the county's own page or a legal notice the county must publish. We link that page next to the sale and show the day we last checked it.
