Tax Sale Overview:


If Miami-Dade county, Florida is unable to collect real estate property taxes they are also unable to provide important government services like police protection, public schooling and medical services.

Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for Miami-Dade county, Florida.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of Miami-Dade county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Miami-Dade county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Miami-Dade county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.

To solve this problem Miami-Dade county, Florida allows investors to pay off these taxes. In exchange the investor receives the Miami-Dade county, Florida lien for taxes. A tax lien is simply a claim for delinquent taxes.

Why would investors do this?

Well, depending on Florida laws and competition, savvy Miami-Dade county tax sale investors can realize high-yielding returns with Florida tax lien certificates and/or purchase real estate for a fraction of its true market value with Florida tax deeds.
