County office: Union County Tax Collector

If it is your own property

In many states the property can be redeemed by paying what is owed — in some states even after a sale — and payment plans may be available. The rules and the deadlines are set by statute and they are short: consult the statute and the county office named here about where you actually stand.

The sale, stage by stage

Tax certificate sale

Florida statute directs the county tax collector to hold an annual tax certificate sale, beginning on or before June 1 or the 60th day after the date of delinquency, whichever is later (Fla. Stat. § 197.402(3)). What is sold is a certificate — a lien for the delinquent taxes — not the property; each certificate goes to the bidder demanding the lowest interest rate (Fla. Stat. § 197.432).

The county’s own page is the place to look for when the next sale is scheduled.

Tax deed sale

If the taxes remain unpaid, a certificate holder may later apply for a tax deed, and the property itself may then be sold at a public tax deed auction (Fla. Stat. § 197.502). Which county office conducts that auction varies by county.

No official county link is recorded here for this stage. The office to ask is this county’s Union County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller.
