WHAT ARE THESE RECORDS

We gather the records for tax deed auctions in most Florida Counties

WHO NEEDS PRE-AUCTION RECORDS?

There are several reasons why someone would want tax deed records long before the auction:

• They want to contact persons who are about to lose their home in a tax auction and offer to purchase

• They want to participate in the tax deed auction and need time to research the tax deeds going up for sale

• They want to assist people in claiming the surplus from the tax deed auction and want the additional time to locate and contact the current owner of the property

WHAT WE DO TO OBTAIN RECORDS

Every day, we look for new auction dates and add them to our Auction Calendar. When we find a new one, we gather the tax deed records onto a spreadsheet, enhance them with additional information not openly provided by the county and offer them for sale on this website.

Our records give you a jump start on deciding:

1. Is this a property on which I want to bid and own?

2. Is this a property on which I want to bid and flip?

3. Is this a property which will produce good surplus after the auction? How do we know this?

   We collect and research tax deed records regularly and we know what happens. We determine the possible surplus amount by subtracting the starting bid from the Assessed Value. We know that IF there are bidders, the high bid regularly reaches the assessed value and higher. Also, if the property is Homestead, we know to add 1/2 of the assessed value to the overbid amount because that goes toward surplus as well.

WHAT YOU ARE PURCHASING

You are purchasing an Excel Spreadsheet containing the following fields:

• County

• Auction Date

• Tax Deed #

• Parcel #

• Starting Bid

• Assessed Value

• Possible Surplus (If auction happens)

• Property Address

• Homestead (Yes or No)

WHAT ABOUT PROPERTY OWNERS, MAILING ADDRESSES, LIENS AND MORTGAGES

With each tax deed headed to auction, the county prepares a “Property Information Report”. On this report, you can find who is the owner of the property as well as a list of any liens or mortgages on the property. 

On each County page (for records that are on our lists), you will find a video showing you how and where to locate the Property Information Reports for that county. 

We also give you an example of each county’s Property Information Report, marked up with our notes showing you where on the report to located the information you need. You can download the examples in your Account Area, under Pre-Auction Records.

We do not produce the reports. These are the Property Reports each County creates for the tax deeds that are headed to auction. 

WHAT COUNTIES ARE ON YOUR LISTS

We provide the records only for counties who hold their auctions online and/or they provide the Property Information Reports easily.
