Florida Tax Certificate API
Florida Tax Deed Data API — Applications, Clerk Sales & Lands Available
The Florida Tax Deed Data API follows the certificate lifecycle past redemption: certificate held, tax deed application, clerk sale, and lands available. After two years from April 1 of the certificate year, a holder may apply for a tax deed — Florida Tax Certs tracks that pipeline county-by-county and cross-links each record to the certificate and parcel behind it. Lands-available and tax-deed coverage expands as each county publishes its lists; we label coverage honestly per county.
