How Florida tax deed sales work

Highlands County runs its tax sales under Florida state rules: it is a tax deed state with a redemption posture of no post-sale redemption.

Deed issued immediately at sale. No redemption after sale.

FL is a pure deed state — no redemption period. Quiet title action required ($2-5K). Check for municipal liens, code enforcement fines (can exceed $200K), and CDD assessments. IRS has 120 days to redeem. Always check occupancy — eviction costs $1.5-3K.
