Florida Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerFlorida tax sale timing: Tax certificate sales on or before June 1 annually (typically late May-early June); tax deed sales held by Clerks of Court several times per month, year-round, varying by county What is sold: Liens + tax deeds (hybrid). Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.
