AUCTION AND TAX DEED RESEARCH STATISTICS & INFORMATION

Duval County holds their Tax Deed Auctions Online approximately 1x Month and typically has 100-200 tax deeds going up for auction. Please keep in mind that at any given time before the auction, the previous owner can redeem their property (pay their taxes) and therefore that tax deed will be pulled from the auction.
