What it really costs to buy
County value $1,023 — opening bid $1,719 (about 168% of county value)
County assessed value is not a market appraisal.
Winning bid: $1,719 (opening bid).
Deposit (estimate): $200 — most Florida counties require 5% of the bid or $200, whichever is greater, paid the same day. This is the common Florida rule; confirm your county's rule on the official listing and verify with the county clerk before bidding.
Balance: usually due within 24 hours (Florida tax deed) — foreclosure timelines vary by county and court order.
Documentary stamp tax and recording fees are extra (Florida doc stamps $0.70 per $100 of the price) — estimated doc stamps $12.
Warning: tax-deed sales can carry extra liens and government claims that survive the sale.
Warning: foreclosure buyers may face eviction costs if the home is occupied.
Always run a title search before bidding.
These are typical costs to plan for, not a quote. Always verify the rules on the official county listing before bidding.
