    Normally they have three years from the time you send a return in.

    The problem in TX is the opposite of FL. All parties in interest have been served before the sale, therefore you get few redemptions. As a consequence you have to treat it as a deed sale. But you are still not in possession until the redemption period is over. In FL you will get a fairly decent return on your money and you still have a chance to get the property (assuming nobody outbids you at the deed sale).

    I have a question. If you are just looking for a good return on your money by investing in Tax Lien's why wouldn't you pick a TX Tax lien over FL (since it sounds like the chance of you getting your tax lien property after the redemption period is pretty low)? And if your goal is to find a cheap property to make a nice profit on, why wouldn't you skip the Tax Lien and waiting out the redemption period process and bid on only Tax Deeds? I'm new and just learning so these are just my observations and wanted to see if my thinking is correct..

    The true nature of your question depends upon where you want the investment to go. The truth of investing in tax liens "certificates" is the most likely of outcomes is a return of interest. The time required for property analysis is much lower than that of investing in tax deeds where the outcome is property ownership. Certificate investing is relatively low risk with ample opportunity to make a quick 5% roi as most certificates are redemmed within 3 months and the minimum return set forth by statute in Florida is 5% when the resulting bid was higher than .025%. So for many a instutitional buyer 5% is a pretty good return for 2-3 months of investment when the timie required to invest in this arena is low.

    VS

    Tax Deeds in Fl where you will be required to hold the interest in the tax deed for 4 years or complete a quiet title action to obtain a marketable title, Pay carrying costs for the property, additional taxes, spend time/resources in research and analysis of property, marketing of property, closing costs, possibly having to deal with other outstanding liens and encumbrances.

    In short you are correct. Tax certificates equate to interest 99% of the time; whereas, tax deed investing always results in property ownership.

    If you are interested in knowing the difference between FL deeds vs liens I found a very informative page about the process and differences at

    Good info. I am bidding in FL sale and noticed that last year w/low bid rates. Hey if you have any good info on Maryland would be great if you could post. There are still some counties having sales in early June.

    I do vouch from my own personal experience that the man who wrote this article is a dedicated person and has enough experience under his belt to comment about tax sales. By the way, I am currently enrolled with taxsalelists.com and they have a good program/course going on. But I recommend going to the website and sign up for the free workshop on tax sales if you want to find out more. By the way, I am not getting paid or offered anything by saying what I just did. I just happen to come to this website and read the article; which by the way I am about to start doing my due deligence on it. Have a good one, everyone!

    You don't need an attorney, you need to go to taxsaleslist.com and go on the seminar. John does an awesome job.

    This info is very helpful to those willing to invest. Obviously we all want liens in our own state but there is great opportunity elsewhere. Florida is one of those elsewhere(s). The internet is a great tool.
    Thanx, taxsalelists.com

    I have a couple of questions:
    1) What is the difference between Tax Lien sale and Tax Deed sale?
    2) Suppose I buy a tax lien this year for past taxes owned by the home owner.
    The home owner has 22 months to redeem the property. Bwtween the date I bought the tax lien and the next 22 months, will someone else buy the next property tax that will be due for the
    next fiscal year or will the county require me to pay for the next tax that will be due?

    Thanks for your response.
