Terms of Sale

Brevard County sells tax certificates, not real estate.

A tax certificate creates a lien against the real estate, but it does not give the buyer ownership or possession rights.

Florida law requires the Tax Collector to award each certificate to the bidder who offers the lowest interest rate, using quarter-percent bid increments.

Bidding starts at 18% and can go down to 0%.

Bids at 0% earn no interest.

The auction site uses a random number generator when multiple bidders tie at the lowest rate.

Items with no bids go to the county as county-held certificates.

Registration on LienHub costs $0, but bidders must pay a refundable deposit.

Brevard County requires a deposit of $100 or 10% of anticipated purchases, whichever amount comes higher.

Bidders must pay deposits by ACH.

Winning bidders must pay certificate balances by ACH.

LienHub automatically debits the final payment account at the payment deadline unless the bidder pays manually before that time.

The Tax Collector may keep the deposit and cancel purchases when final payment fails.

The Tax Collector does not issue paper certificates after the sale.

Buyers can review winning bids through the Results tab inside the auction site.

Tax Certificate Rules Investors Should Know

Florida law allows electronic tax certificate sales and electronic deposits or payments.

A tax certificate holder cannot contact the property owner to encourage or demand payment until two years after April 1 of the year the certificate was issued.

A certificate holder may apply for a tax deed after two years have passed since April 1 of the certificate year, as long as the certificate has not expired.

Florida tax certificates expire after seven years from the date of issuance unless the holder applies for a tax deed or another legal proceeding affects the certificate.

Brevard County’s Tax Collector brochure also tells certificate holders to contact the Tax Collector’s Office at 321-264-6969 for tax certificate questions.
