Tax Certificates are sold annually, through an online Tax Certificate sale, for delinquent real estate taxes.  If taxes remain unpaid, the certificate holder may file a Tax Deed Application with the Tax Collector's Office two years after the date of delinquency.  If not redeemed, the property may be sold at a public auction conducted by the Clerk of the Circuit Court.  Florida Statute 197.502(3) provides that the County in which the property described in the certificate is located shall apply for a tax deed on all County-held certificates on property valued at $5,000 or more on the Property Appraiser's most recent assessment roll, and may apply for tax deeds on certificates on property valued at less than $5,000 on the Property Appraiser's most recent assessment roll.  The subject property is valued at less than $5,000 on the Property Appraiser's most recent roll.
