Florida rules

Max interest rate
18% per year, bid down in 0.25% steps
Minimum return
5% floor at redemption
Redemption
The owner (or anyone) can redeem a certificate at any time after it is issued, up until full payment for the tax deed is made to the Clerk, which cuts off redemption even before the deed is formally issued. The two-year clock that lets a certificate holder apply for a tax deed runs from April 1 of the year the certificate was issued.
Deed deposit
The high bidder posts a nonrefundable deposit of 5 percent of the bid or $200, whichever is greater, at the time of the sale, applied to the final price.
Homestead deeds
If the property was assessed as homestead on the latest roll, the opening bid also adds one-half of its latest assessed value. This sharply raises the floor price on homestead parcels and suppresses investor demand for them.
Surplus proceeds
After a tax deed sale, surplus is paid to governmental liens first, then to recorded lienholders who file within a 120-day window, then to the former legal titleholder.
Governing statute
F.S. Chapter 197

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
