Florida tax certificate sales, normalized for search, API, and investor workflows

Florida Tax Certs tracks Florida tax certificate sales, delinquent parcels, lands available, redemptions, certificate holders, and tax deed applications across all 67 counties. Coverage starts with the official county sale directory and expands into certificate-level data through public vendor portals, county downloads, CSV imports, and public-record sources.

Built for

Every Florida tax-certificate workflow, one endpoint away

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.

Clean REST API

JSON envelopes, versioned at /api/v1, full OpenAPI 3.1 spec. Search certificates, holders, lands available, and the tax deed pipeline where the data is publicly available.

Certificate & holder search

Fuzzy-ranked across certificate number, owner of record, parcel ID, and holder/fund name. Find every certificate tied to an investor in one query — coverage grows vendor-by-vendor.

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.

Sale & redemption alerts

Saved searches and webhooks fire when a new sale batch posts, a certificate redeems, or a parcel advances to a tax deed application — so you don't refresh portals by hand.

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 and track redemptions — without juggling LienHub, RealAuction, and TaxCertSale logins.

Title & legal teams

Pull certificate status, holder of record, redemption and tax-deed history, and the underlying parcel reference for title diligence and lien work.

Developers & data teams

Build apps on top of normalized Florida tax-certificate data — certificates, sales, holders, lands available, and the tax deed pipeline — 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, holder of record, redemption history
  • Certificate-holder and fund due diligence
  • Public-records research, investigative journalism, and academic work
  • Internal CRM enrichment and analytics workflows
  • Lands-available and tax-deed pipeline tracking

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, holder, and redemption — wherever the data is publicly available, with a public-record-request fallback.

We do not promise complete certificate-level records for all 67 counties, real-time redemptions everywhere, or daily scraping of every portal. See the live, per-county breakdown on data coverage and the county directory.
