Tax delinquent properties in Florida, and the ones headed to tax deed sale
Florida tax collectors publish the delinquent property tax list every year before the tax certificate sale, usually in May, in a local newspaper or on their website. If the taxes stay unpaid for two years, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed and the clerk schedules a sale. PropTalon lists those scheduled tax deed sales with the sale date today; delinquent tax rolls are coming soon.
Unpaid Florida property taxes become a tax certificate, and two years later the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed. PropTalon tracks the end of that line today: properties scheduled for a tax deed sale, with the sale date, on the parcel. Delinquent tax rolls are coming soon.

How to find tax delinquent properties yourself
Each county tax collector advertises its delinquent real property taxes before the annual tax certificate sale, usually in May, as Florida Statutes 197.402 requires. The list runs in a local newspaper or on the tax collector's site, and it names every parcel with unpaid taxes from the year before.
After the sale, the certificate holder waits. Two years from April 1 of the year the certificate was issued, they can apply for a tax deed, and the clerk schedules the property for auction. That scheduled sale is the most time-sensitive point, and it's what PropTalon lists on the Florida tax deed sale calendar.
What the numbers mean
A delinquent bill on its own often gets paid. A property with a tax deed application has gone two years or more, and the owner now has a deadline. Run what it would take to pay off with the tax certificate redemption calculator, and read how Florida tax deed sales work for the full timeline.
