Property tax bills can pile up fast. In Florida, unpaid taxes can eventually lead to a tax deed sale — where you lose the property entirely. Here's what to know.

The Timeline for Unpaid Property Taxes

Unpaid taxes accrue interest and fees. After two years, a tax certificate holder can apply for a tax deed sale. See details on our tax delinquency page.

You Don't Have to Pay the Taxes Before Selling

A cash buyer can purchase the property and resolve the tax balance at closing — you pay nothing out of pocket.

Act Before the Tax Deed Sale

The earlier you act, the more control you have over the outcome. Highlands can close in as few as 7 days. Learn how on our how it works page.
