Foreclosure auction · Hillsborough County

12523 Cardiff Dr, Tampa, FL 33625

Q: What does the buyer of a foreclosure sale take on?

Junior liens named in the case are cleared. The sale cuts off liens recorded after the foreclosed mortgage when their holders were defendants. Older liens stay. A mortgage or judgment recorded before the foreclosed mortgage survives. So do liens whose holders were left out of the case. Taxes and assessments stay. Unpaid property taxes, tax certificates and assessments on the tax bill, including PACE, follow the property (F.S. 197.122, 163.08). Federal liens. If the United States is a defendant, it can redeem the property for 120 days after the sale (28 U.S.C. 2410).

Taken back by the plaintiff. Held on Mon, Sep 28, 2026: the plaintiff took the property back.
