Terms of Sale

Bid in $50+ increments.

Bring a $200 cash deposit per parcel you win and pay it immediately after each winning bid. You will not receive a refund of this deposit.

Pay the full balance by 11:00 a.m. the next day or forfeit the deposit and cover re‑advertising costs.

Use acceptable payment methods only: cash, cashier’s check, or money order. The Clerk does not accept personal checks.

Add mandatory fees: documentary stamp tax ($0.70 per $100 of consideration in Taylor County) plus recording fees. The Clerk will calculate these at payment.

Understand title risk: the Clerk does not guarantee clear title; liens or encumbrances can survive the sale. Do your own due diligence or speak with a Florida real estate attorney.

Know the redemption rule: the owner or an interested party can redeem until you make full payment to the Clerk (including doc stamps and recording fees).
