Tax deed auction · Manatee County

5440 Gulf Of Mexico Dr, Longboat Key, FL 34228

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

Private liens are cleared. A tax deed wipes out mortgages, judgments and most other private liens on the property. Government liens stay. Liens held by a city, county or special district, such as code enforcement or utility liens, survive the deed (F.S. 197.552). Easements and restrictions stay. Recorded easements and covenants run with the land. Plan for a quiet title action. Title insurers often will not insure a tax deed title until a court quiets it, which can take months.
