67-county sale directory & calendar
Every Florida county's tax certificate sale — sale date, bidding days, registration window, sale URL, vendor/channel, and contact — from the official statewide directory. See the /counties directory and /calendar.
v1 · 1.2M+ Florida tax certificates indexed
Florida tax certificate sales, normalized for search, API, and investor workflows
Florida Tax Certs holds 1,267,795 tax certificates and the property-appraiser parcels behind them, searchable by county, parcel, owner, status, face amount, and rate. All 67 counties carry the official sale directory; certificate-level data is added county-by-county through public vendor portals, county downloads, CSV imports, and public-record sources. Holders, lands available, and the tax deed pipeline hold no records yet, and redemptions are not yet available.

Built for
Every Florida tax-certificate workflow, one endpoint away
Clean REST API
JSON envelopes, versioned at /api/v1, full OpenAPI 3.1 spec at /api/openapi. Search certificates, certificate sales, and counties. Holder, lands-available, and tax-deed endpoints are live but their datasets are not yet ingested — they return an empty result set flagged not_yet_ingested.
Certificate search
Fuzzy-ranked across certificate number, owner of record, parcel ID, and site address, filterable by county, status, tax year, face amount, and rate. Holder search runs on the same index and expands as vendor portals are wired in.
CSV & manual import
Where a vendor portal blocks automation (LienHub counties start directory-only), bring your own export. CSV / manual import and a public-record-request fallback keep coverage honest, not faked.
Saved searches & webhooks
Save a screen and get a webhook when new certificates matching it land in the index, so you don't refresh county portals by hand. Redemption and tax-deed event triggers arrive with those datasets.
Parcel cross-linking
Each certificate carries its parcel reference, cross-linked to full parcel detail — owner, values, sales history — at floridapropertyapi.com. Filter by county, status, face amount, interest/bid rate, and tax year.
Who uses it
Tax-lien investors
Screen Florida tax certificates and delinquent parcels by county, status, face amount, and interest rate to build buy lists — without juggling LienHub, RealAuction, and TaxCertSale logins.
Title & legal teams
Pull certificate status, amounts, tax year, and the underlying parcel reference for title diligence and lien work, plus whatever holder and redemption fields the county published.
Developers & data teams
Build apps on top of normalized Florida tax-certificate data — certificates, certificate sales, and the county directory — through one REST API, CSV, and alerts.
Compliant uses
In-scope workflows
Florida Tax Certificate API is not a consumer reporting agency. The data is sourced from county tax-collector and certificate-sale public records and is intended for workflows like these:
- Tax-lien investment research and buy-list sourcing
- Title diligence: certificate status, amounts, and parcel reference
- Certificate-holder and fund research (dataset not yet ingested)
- Public-records research, investigative journalism, and academic work
- Internal CRM enrichment and analytics workflows
- Lands-available and tax-deed pipeline tracking (dataset not yet ingested)
Out of scope: credit, insurance underwriting, employment screening, tenant screening, and any other FCRA-covered permissible purpose. See the FCRA notice for the full prohibited-uses list.
Honest coverage
Coverage is labeled per county — and grows vendor-by-vendor
This is not “one scraper for all 67 counties.” It is a statewide tax-certificate intelligence layer that normalizes fragmented public county and vendor data into search, API, CSV, alerts, and parcel-linked investor workflows. Every county starts in the sale directory; certificate-level data is added as each vendor portal is wired in. Each county is labeled so you always know what you are looking at:
Tier 1
Directory-only
Sale date, bidding days, registration window, sale URL, vendor, and contact from the official statewide directory. The 32 LienHub counties start here — those portals are Cloudflare/login-walled, so certificate detail arrives via CSV / manual import.
Tier 2
Vendor-tracked
Sale batches and results tracked through a public vendor portal — RealAuction (RealTaxLien, 11 counties), TaxCertSale (17), WFBS (3), Pacific Blue (1), and county/local systems (2).
Tier 3
Certificate-level
Certificate number, owner of record, parcel, face amount, interest/bid rate, status, and sale date, plus the holder and redemption fields the county published — with a public-record-request fallback where a portal blocks automation.
We do not have certificate-level records for all 67 counties, we do not have a redemptions dataset yet, and we do not scrape every portal daily. Holder, lands-available, and tax-deed records hold no rows at all yet — those endpoints return an empty result set. See the live, per-county breakdown on data coverage and the county directory.
