Internet auctions not only increase the speed and efficiency of the tax certificate sale, but ensure the prompt and accurate collection of delinquent tax revenue needed to fund vital county services. In addition, it is a convenient way to invest in tax certificates without leaving the comfort of your home or office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">Tax certificates convey no property rights.

Valid bids may be entered between 0 and 18% in 0.25% increments. If the tax certificate is redeemed after June 1 the tax certificate holder is guaranteed a minimum of 5% interest. Zero percent bids will not earn the 5% minimum interest. Bids are entered and awarded to the buyer with the lowest interest rate bid. Simple interest accrues on a monthly basis. If the tax certificate earns an interest rate of 12%, then interest will accrue at the rate of 1% per month until the tax certificate is redeemed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">Upon redemption of delinquent taxes, accrued interest and advertising costs, the Tax Collector\u2019s office then reimburses the tax certificate holder\/investor all monies <strong>due.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>If you plan to participate in the annual Tax Certificate Sale or to manage existing<\/strong> <strong>certificates, please have the following:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Register on <a href=\"https:\/\/hendryfl.realtaxlien.com\/\">HCTC Tax Lien site<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/fw9.pdf\">IRS Form W-9<\/a>, required for interest reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">ACH-enable bank account for electronic payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Certificate number(s) for redemption inquiries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Parcel ID or property information for research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\">Required funds for bidding or tax deed application fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">Investors are strongly encouraged to perform independent research prior to bidding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-7d7556a\" data-block-id=\"7d7556a\"><style>.stk-7d7556a {margin-bottom:24px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-7d7556a {padding-top:50px !important;padding-right:10px !important;padding-bottom:50px !important;padding-left:10px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-7d7556a-column alignwide\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-d9a663f\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"d9a663f\"><style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-d9a663f {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-d9a663f-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-d9a663f-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-7d0b0e0\" data-block-id=\"7d0b0e0\"><style>.stk-7d0b0e0 {padding-top:50px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-7d0b0e0 {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-7d0b0e0 {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-7d0b0e0-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5f8386b\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5f8386b\"><style>@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-5f8386b {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% -

The tax certificate sale is NOT a sale of real property, nor does a tax certificate give the certificate holder a direct means to acquire a property. According to Florida Statute 197.432 (13) The holder of a tax certificate may not directly, through an agent, or otherwise initiate contact with the owner of property upon which he or she holds a tax certificate to encourage or demand payment until 2 years after April 1 of the year of issuance of the tax certificate.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">It is your sole responsibility to research any tax lien certificates you intend to buy.

In addition, the certificate holder shall pay the costs of resale, if applicable.
