Online auctions are held on properties offered for sale to the highest bidder in order to pay delinquent property taxes. The Clerk’s Office conducts the sale via public auction on the Internet in accordance with Florida Statutes. The property or interest being auctioned may be worth less than the assessed value.
Anyone may bid on the properties and must register to be a bidder online at www.Lake.RealTaxDeed.com by the day before the sale. The site provides information for each sale item, including the certificate number, parcel ID number, legal description, certificate holder, name of the owner, and base bid. Tax deed files are also available for viewing on the online Tax Deed Record Search.
At the date and time specified for the sale, each item is auctioned and sold to the highest bidder. Before the sale, bidders must post with the Clerk a deposit, which will be applied to the successful bidder’s final bid amount.
It is recommended that you review the Tax Deed Sale Process for additional information.
