Florida rules

How unpaid tax and foreclosure work in Florida

Counties sell tax certificates every spring; bidders bid the interest rate down from 18%. Two years after a certificate is issued, the holder can apply for a tax deed sale. The owner can pay off the certificate at any time until the tax deed is issued.

Mortgage foreclosures: judicial. Lenders must sue in circuit court; the property is sold at the clerk's online auction after the final judgment.
