Every year, thousands of Florida families lose their homesโnot to the bank, but to the county. Not because they couldn't pay their mortgage, but because they fell behind on property taxes.
If you've got that certified letter sitting on your counterโthe one that says "NOTICE OF TAX SALE"โyou're not alone, and you're not out of options.

Once your taxes become delinquent on ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ, the clock starts ticking. You have exactly ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ before a tax certificate holder can force the sale of your home at a tax deed auction. Not two years from when you got the noticeโtwo years from when taxes became delinquent.
After that two-year mark? They file a tax deed application. Your home gets scheduled for auction. And in Florida, ๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฌ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐โthere's no redemption period after the sale like in some other states.
But here's the good news: You have options until that auction happens.

Check if you qualify for ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง with your county property appraiserโyou could be paying thousands more than you should

If you're 65+ with limited income, ask about senior exemptions
๐๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก? By the time most people call me, they've already tried the county. The payment plan was too much. The timeline is too short. The auction is 30 days away.

I help Florida homeowners stop tax deed sales before they lose everything. Here's how:

๐น ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐๐คโstay in your home with time to rebuild
๐น ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก instead of losing 100% at auction
๐น ๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐-๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ if the tax deed application is already filed
๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐: Tampa retiree, $18,000 behind, auction in 45 days. County couldn't help. We closed in 10 days. She got $45,000 in equity cash, stayed in her home as a renter, and is on track to buy it back next year.
๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ญ. Sometimes the math doesn't workโthere's no equity left after taxes. When that happens, I tell you the truth and point you toward housing counselors. But if I can help, I'll move heaven and earth to close before that auction date.
๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐:
โข Never pay upfront fees to "hold" your property
โข Never sign anything without an attorney review
โข Never trust "too good to be true" promises

Step 1: Look up your status on your county tax collector's website
Step 2: Call the countyโask about payment plans and redemption amounts
Step 3: If time is short or they can't help, ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐
